So there are various practices through which relationship could be managed and are
discussed below-

necessary and are mostly influenced by the business environment. In context to Aldi,

become familiar with the work environment (Venugopal, 2019).
 Freedom of expression and flexibility- Another mechanism is for managing the
employment relationship is that organisation need to be flexible as well as allows
employee and team members to enjoy the freedom of expression where they can
