Throughout times of disruption there are ever present and exciting opportunities to introduce innovative ER practices and to move away from the archaic. The recent socio-economic unrest as well as the lasting effects of Covid-19 have created exactly such an opportunity for South Africans to reapproach their policies- substituting outdated methods for effective processes that accurately address the shifting ER dynamics. Now more than ever, there is a need for agile and alert ER management, the constant sourcing of knowledge and new developments in order to provide for seamless, expeditious, but nevertheless low risk LR practices and processes.
In light of this, Knowledge Resources will be hosting a practical workshop on the topic of contentious Employee Relations in the times of Covid-19 on the 21st of October, 2021.
