Employee Relations 2.0:
Overcoming the investment
gap to drive an ROI revolution

The market knowledge of the Empowering People Group suggests that employee relations functions in many organisations are under-invested, lack data-driven insights and are hampered by manager capability gaps.

"Employee Relations 2.0: Overcoming the investment gap to drive an ROI revolution" reviews the findings from research that delves into why a shift in mindset and approach may be needed when it comes to investment in employee relations transformation. 

Highlights

Under-investment: Organisations rank their ER as a higher priority than other critical HR functions, but investment in technology and transformation budgets is lacking..

Poor data-driven insights: Employee relations functions often lack access to data-driven insights for decision-making. This highlights a missed opportunity to leverage data for strategic workforce management and employee engagement initiatives.

Capability and budgetary gap:
Line managers often lack the necessary capabilities to effectively manage
ER matters without escalating them to HR. This underscores the need for targeted training and
development, tech enablement and collaboration to ensure managers can confidently and consistently manage their teams.
