Abstract

Human resources are one of the most basic things that keep any organizations’ operations running. Without laborers, everything would be hardly possible. A poorly planned and executed labor development plan would most likely lead to poor labor practices, which would of course affect basically all human resource or labor dependent operation in the organization. More often than not, poor labor and relation development practices lead to significantly impaired productivity levels, which are some of the last things that any manager would want. Knowing the current best practices in the field of labor and relations development is therefore crucial both ...
