EMPLOYMENT RELATIONS2IntroductionEmployment relations in regards to current hospitality issues are the informal and formal rules and regulations that help in streamlining the activities of the industry (Bray, Waring, Cooper & Macneil, n.d.p.28). These rules and regulations are made so that they can regulate and streamline the employee-employer relationship, unions and employees collectivebargaining agreement, work ethics, work environment and conflict resolutions in the work place(DeCenzo, Robbins & Verhulst, 2013.p.3). Importance of employment relations and their impact in terms of efficiency and equityThere are various reasons why the study of employment relations is emphasized. The first is maximizing the organizational wellbeing by maximizing effort, reducing the costly unproductive practices at the workplace, developing strategies and tactics in managing employee- employer relationship (Foot, Hook & Jenkins, 2016p. 33). In administrative terms, some concepts that are widely used, both for their impact on the daily activity of the company, and for its applicability are: efficiency, effectiveness and productivity. For employment relations especially in the hospitality, the following has to be clarified;Efficiency: Consists in reaching the goals established in the company.Efficiency: Refers to achieving goals with the least amount of resources.

When all team members know what they should do, new ideas are produced that help the company grow. In addition, when working as a team, the action time decreases and the effectiveness ofthe results increases.

It will be good to carry out group activities so that team members know each other and establish good personal relationships.
