Employee Relations Manager Jobs
The employment of people brings with it a certain amount of rights and responsibilities alongside wonderful opportunities. The way a company deals with its staff not only influences its productivity and employee satisfaction; it also affects how it is seen to the outside world, and that in turn can affect the calibre of applicants when positions become available. The employer relations manager is a key piece of the puzzle. They are advocates for the staff to the management, but also advocates of the management to the staff.
As well as overseeing staffing strategy of the company, the employee relations manager will be involved day to day in ensuring the legal aspects of employment are taken into account in all business decisions. But because policy changes and implementation can have profound effects on employees, the ERM might also be involved with dealing with trade unions to negotiate and explain changes in working practices.
The skills required
To deal with such highly organized and motivated individuals and organizations such as unions, requires a strength of character, an attention to detail and a forensic approach to communication across the company. A thorough knowledge of employment law, particularly in the company’s sector, and also generally, will be of benefit to the candidate seeking an employer relations manager role.
Because of the HR tasks involved in the role, a firm backing in HR to managerial level will be required. The rewards for this job, however, can be immense, with pride and satisfaction coming from a well thought out strategy that delivers on company policy with the minimum of interference. In large companies this role is highly prized and remunerated; motivated and conscientious experts will relish the opportunity.
Employee Relations Manager Jobs in Anglesey
Anglesey is an island county off the coast of North Wales, but is an integral part of Wales itself, with Welsh culture part of its inherent makeup. The island was joined to mainland Wales in the nineteenth century by two bridges near Bangor, one designed by Thomas Telford, the other by Robert Stephenson. Anglesey’s population of around 70,000 is concentrated mainly in the north-west port of Holyhead, which houses around 14,000. It is also the county town and an important ferry port, with regular services to Dublin.
There is a certain amount of tourism in Anglesey, but not as much as there is on the North Wales coast. The island is rather agricultural in nature, although the port provides an important cluster of jobs and helps the economy greatly. As with any port town, Employee Relations Manager jobs do become available in Holyhead, which makes Anglesey among the best place in the North Wales region to find such work.
