Employment relationship can be defined as a link between employers and employees and
exist when a person performs work in return for a salary under certain conditions. Both
employer as well as employee agree to perform work wherein the employer supervises
the performance of an employee. If employees will share a healthy and strong relationship
with their employer, it is not only beneficial for them but the whole company (Audenaert,
George and Decramer, 2019). This is because there will be a reduction in work-related
conflicts, increase in overall morale of the staff which and an enhanced productivity.
