Introduction
Sustaining healthy and well-comprehensive employee relations in an organization is
regarded as a pre-requisite for organizational achievements. Employee relation strategies
generally exhibit high degree of propensity to deal with avoiding as well as resolving areas of
complexities concerning individuals which tend to emerge through the influence of the work
scenario. Well-established employee relation further implies that employees must develop a
sense of positivity related to their identities as well as about being associated with the
organization (Armstrong and Taylor 2014). Thus the importance of strong and comprehensive
employee relation within organizations is considered to be immensely essential and thus is
recognized as a critical factor for ultimate success within an organization (Chester 2015). The
following paper explicitly examines the significant employee relation strategies implemented by
Energex, one of the renowned electric power distribution companies in Australia. The paper will
further cast light on the way Energex has been working on employee safety and welfare
approaches along with other employee relation risk management strategies and approaches
which the company has been employing in order to maintain a smooth functioning within the
organization.

whereby customers would tend to show high level of willingness to be associated and further

business strategy (Energex2018). Employee Relations Strategy of Energex has been
