settlement– Arbitration to resolve a dispute

To Promote Good Relationships …Employees feel more secure if they feel they can participate in decision-
making:
Team Working - Here employees are responsible for achieving targets they helped to establish and for which they get recognition. Employees are participating in the decision making process while working in a team.
Quality Circles - Here employees pool their experience and expertise to examine problems and suggest solution. This will create a feeling of worth in the employee.
Works Councils – employees and managers work together to discuss working conditions
Employees will feel secure and part of the business if management:Treats them as people Involves them in the decision makingConsults them about future plansRecognises good performanceEncourages training
