 What is human relations in the workplace?

Human relations is the way an organization's employees and leaders feel about each
other, interact and solve problems. A company may have a set of processes, procedures
and individuals that support the needs of employees and the employer in the workplace.
Human relations relates to systems such as hiring, evaluations, exits and ongoing
training. Human relations also refers to how conflict or complications arise between
team members and how they find a resolution. Some companies hire individuals or
teams who are responsible for workplace human relations, while others consider it a
responsibility of the human resources (HR) department.
Importance of human relations

Human relations is important in the workplace because it:

Assists with employee
recruitment and
retention
Strong human relations can help
recruit and retain quality
employees, deliver their wages
and benefits in a streamlined way
and support their fair and
equitable treatment. These
functions can also enable an
organization to build a reputation
as a good place to work. Human
relations initiatives can also
ensure that existing employees
receive the training required to
perform their job functions
successfully. This can help ensure
that employees feel capable and
successful at work.
Promotes innovation and
creativity
Employees who enjoy positive
workplace relationships and practice
open communication and trust with
their teammates may be more
willing to take creative risks and
innovate. Having a more
empowered workforce may help an
organization develop a competitive
advantage in its industry. Innovation
and creativity can also boost
revenue and profit by providing new
ways of approaching challenges,
increasing productivity and
reducing costs. Employers that
support creativity and innovation
might also attract and retain top
talent due to the positive work
environment
Teamwork and
collaboration
Human relations is a foundational part
of collaboration and teamwork in the
workplace. When employees have a
positive experience working with their
colleagues and supervisors, they may
choose to work collaboratively more
often. Teams that trust each other,
respect each other's ideas and
communicate effectively may be more
effective when collaborating. Strong
collaboration can also support the
smooth functioning of an
organization's daily operations.
 Human relations skills

A vast variety of skills are relevant to human relations

practices, including:

Communication: It's vital that employees can communicate

with one another clearly and effectively to ensure alignment,
teamwork and transparency
Teamwork: Collaborative teams that help one another and
share responsibilities might communicate healthily.

Conflict management: It's important that teams know how

to resolve issues in a mutually beneficial way when they
arise
Empathy: Colleagues who understand one another's unique
backgrounds, needs and thoughts may develop a more
supportive work environment.
Leadership: Clear leadership can help a team implement
human relations practices and stay connected to shared
objectives.
How to practice human relations in the
workplace
1. Develop human relations goals
Decide what you'd like to accomplish in your human relations activities
and how you plan to measure success. Consider both the employee and
employer perspectives to create comprehensive objectives. Examples of
human relations goals might include fostering pleasant workplace
relationships, providing support for employees facing challenges and
celebrating employees' successes.
2. Collaborate with your team
Work together with company leaders or teammates to establish your
human relations development plan. Consider using focus groups or
surveys to gather information about common perceptions of your
human relations efforts. Brainstorm together and discuss ways to
improve human relations in your workplace. Keep track of your ideas
by writing them down or by using an electronic organizational tool.
Working with your teammates can help you address issues in the
workplace and meet the needs of the workforce.
3. Measure your outcomes
Once you've implemented your human relations practices, measure your
outcomes to learn if you've been successful. Refer back to your goals to
learn what metrics are appropriate for measurement. Then, you can use
this information to assess your progress toward the goals you set. If an
employee survey noted that many employees would like more
opportunities to socialize with their colleagues, for example, you might
hold several workplace social functions. You can then use another survey
to determine employees' feelings on workplace relationships afterward.
4. Provide necessary support
Provide any necessary training and support to help your teams practice
human relations in the workplace. This might involve internal training
sessions focusing on human relations skills. Some companies also invite
outside trainers or consultants to provide human relations support to their
employees. Consider using tools such as surveys to garner feedback from
employees about their human relations experience in the workplace.
