Importance of employee relations:
If the employer and employee relations are strong then it will be helpful in retaining the
loyal and high performer employees because loosing good employees is the big loss to the
company. Harrods make sure that they provide good working environment which will bring
comfort level amongst employees so that they remain loyal to the organization (Duggan and
et.al., 2020). Company which have healthy relations between employer and employee are tended
to be more successful. It is also helpful in reducing the workplace conflicts. When a person will
get peaceful workplace then they will enjoy working which will likely to have less conflicts.
When company will value their employees then they will motivate and that will increase their
productivity. Improved productivity will help the company in generating more revenue. If the
relationship will good then it will build trust between employee and employee and in that case
employee will listen more to the employer and employee will follow what employer say rather
arguing every time. It will also enhance work life balance. Nowadays work culture is becoming
hectic as due to workload and bad employee relations generally results in hiding the problems.
Fundamentals of employment law:

Employment law is the law which handle the employer and employee relationship and it
is mandatory for every company to use employment law. The main aim of this law is to protect
the rights of the workers (Greer and Doellgast, 2017).
Right of equality:
It is one of the most important employment law. It means that each and every employee has the
right to get equality. Companies have no right to discriminate employees on the basis of age,
gender, religion, colour, caste etc. Harrods make sure that work is divided equally among the
workers, and they are getting salary on the basis of work done. There should be no biased on the
workplace.
Health and safety:
Health and safety is the another right of the workers. Safe working environment must be
provided by the organization so that they can work comfortably without any fear. In this
pandemic time proper hygiene should be maintained at the workplace. Sanitization should be
done on regular basis and also following social distancing. In order to ensure safety and health,
company provides health insurance to the workforce (Kaufman and et.al., 2021).
Data protection right:
Data protection means that personal information of the employees should be protected by the
organization. As company is not allowed to share the data of their employees without their
permission and if the company does then it will consider as crime. If in the case personal
information is very important to be shared then company have to take permission from the
worker before sharing the personal data.
Suggestions to organization to improve employee relations:
giving positive feedbacks:
Employee relations will become stronger if the superior will give positive feedbacks. If the
employee is performing good then he or she should be appreciated from their superior publically.
Harrods should make their employees feel that they are valuable to them (Lansbury and et.al.,
2020). By this employee will feel that they are the asset for company and that will motivate them
to work hard.
Improving communication:
Communication through emails are not sufficient. Workers are the important resource to the
company so here personal communication is important. Managers should be approachable every
