TASK 1 ESSAY
Unitary and pluralistic framework
There are different types of approach and framework has been used for
understanding and managing the behaviour of individual and groups that helps to maintain
the relations by considering their perception and values.
Unitary framework
According to analysis, unitary framework refers to the approach of evaluating the ongoing
process, attitude, assumption and practices related to management as well as
organizational members. For an organization the stakeholders plays critical role in the
planning and implementation of strategy as well utilization of resources to meet the
business and personal objectives. For developing the uniform approach and process to
meet the objectives and maintain the standard process, organization can use this kind of
framework which will support to development of mission statement and measure the
success thorough actual achievement of set. The top management of organization could
use this kind of framework to motivate and develop the interest in the work that will help to
improve the performance as well optimum utilization of resources. For managing the
resources and planning of the activities would be consider in the unitary that support the
development and proper management of operational services. Moreover, by using this
type of framework, organization considers the employees as their partners that influence
the morale of staff members (Blanch flower and Bryson, 2010). According to this
approach the top management of organization offers rewards and other non-financial
benefits that influence the interest and performance of staff. Furthermore, business
evaluates that it is essential for them to undertake effective resources in regard to practice
and formulating legal and policy framework. Also, involving different trade union within
business helps in controlling and benefiting the firm in regard to manage the issues and
thus attain desired results.
Pluralistic framework
On the other hand, Pluralistic framework refers to organizational process that
involves the power and authority of managing the senior and sub group members.
According to this approach, organization is having the good knowledge of objectives and
needs of the staff members. Moreover, the top management plays important role in the
management services as it make the decision for controlling and coordinating with the
employees to develop the plan and consider the input of the union (Dow, 2012). The union
also plays critical role in the proper consideration of legal framework, management of
employee’s disputes and develops the alternative plan for employee’s welfare. Moreover,

this kind of framework involves the evolution of positive changes and follow-up of union
restriction that has significant impact of the human resources development process. In
addition to this, pluralistic frame of references are supposed to control, monitor and
develop the operation management of firm or affect the business strength.
Impact of trade union changes on employee relation
In the current scenario, organizations are bound to follow the legal process for
recruitment, offering the wages and safety of the staff that helps to maintain the relation
with the employees. In order to monitor and analyse the approach of top management
over these issues, trade union plays critical role. For employee welfare, trade union offer
the information about the rights of the staff members within organization that helps the
staff members to gain the necessary benefits that are for all. In addition to this, trade union
perform tasks like modification, analysis of expectation and behaviour of staff and top
management consider the external and internal factors that have significant impact on the
relationship. It develops and provides the training to employees as per the new standard
and supports them to get familiar with the situation (Hayter, 2011). By considering the
facts it can be consider that trade union has significant impact on the changes of employee
behaviour and developing the new opportunities for getting the right place and facilities to
deal with the situation. apart from that trade union is also involve in the situations like
strike, lockout and protect against the management that influence the behaviour of other
employees and lead to implement the changes in the organizational process of
maintaining the relations. For that purpose, it is essential for organization to involve the
tread union in the decision marking and implementation of changes in employs activities.
Role of main players
There are various players involved in employee relations such as employees,
government, employer, trade union, courts or tribunals and employer's association. For
managing the relation and planning of the activities there are various main players that
have significant impact on the business activities of organizations as well management of
relation between employer and employees. The HR department of organization plays the
critical role in the employee relation planning and improvement as it develop the plan and
process for considering the needs of the staff to deal with the situation and offer them
required support to perform the tasks. According to analysis the main task of HR manager
is to allocate the role and responsibility, resources and provide the clear guideline for
performing the tasks (Jeffery, 2015). Moreover, manager monitored the performance and
needs of the staff members as well built the positive and healthy working environment that
influence the performance.
The other main player in this approach is trade union that performs tasks like
modification, analysis of expectation and behaviour of staff and top management consider
the external and internal factors that have significant impact on the relationship. It
develops and provides the training to employees as per the new standard and supports
them to get familiar with the situation. Apart from that state government also has active
participation in the process of managing the relation and monitors the approach of
organization towards the staff members (Dür and Mateo, 2010). The government analyse
trends and legal practices of organization that helps to maintain the positive relation with
the employee by offering the satisfactory wages and environment for working. Further, law
has been developed by government in regard to protect the labor and stakeholders within
business and does not affect their rights.
