Industrial relations

In the ordinary course of day-to-day employment, conflict is, unfortunately, inevitable. Disputes will arise between employees and between employees and management. If ignored or if not properly dealt with, such conflicts can become damaging to the working environment and to productivity. Organisations must, therefore, be able to settle workplace grievances fairly and efficiently, otherwise they may well pay a high cost.

Ibec members have access to an advisor who can provide expert advice on difficult grievance, disciplinary and other industrial relations/human resource issues. Our experts represent member organisations in negotiations with trade unions at company leave and at industrial relations institutions; guide members in dealing with the Workplace Relations Commission; represent members at mediation, adjudication hearings and before the Labour Court.
