Example industrial relations projects
How can companies collaborate more effectively with researchers, experts, and thought leaders to make progress on industrial relations?
Employee Engagement Survey
An Industrial relations researcher can design and conduct an employee engagement survey to assess the level of employee satisfaction, commitment, and motivation. The researcher can analyze the survey data and provide recommendations to improve employee engagement and productivity.
Conflict Resolution Training

These programs can help managers and employees learn effective communication and negotiation skills to resolve conflicts in a constructive manner.
Labor Law Compliance Audit
An Industrial relations researcher can assist companies in conducting a comprehensive audit of their labor law compliance. The researcher can review HR policies, practices, and procedures to ensure compliance with relevant labor laws and regulations, minimizing the risk of legal disputes and penalties.
Workplace Diversity and Inclusion Assessment
Companies striving to create a diverse and inclusive workplace can collaborate with an Industrial relations researcher to assess their current diversity and inclusion practices. The researcher can provide recommendations for improving diversity recruitment, retention, and creating an inclusive work environment.
Union Avoidance Strategy
Companies seeking to prevent unionization can work with an Industrial relations researcher to develop a union avoidance strategy.
