Developing good faith and socially responsible employment relations between employees and the employer
Abstract
Contemporary employment relations are often marked by a deficit of trust and rising conflict, which impedes constructive interaction between staff and employers. In this context, it is essential to cultivate good faith and socially responsible employment relations grounded in mutual trust and transparency, and in the employer’s commitment to building harmonious professional relationships with employees. The purpose of the article was to identify tools for improving the quality of socially responsible employment relations between employees and the employer, that are aimed at increasing trust, ensuring the good faith performance of duties, and minimizing the employer’s personnel risks. The research methods included qualitative information gathering within an applied legal analytical research design that combines doctrinal (normative legal) analysis with the systematization of managerial practices used by Russian employers. To develop good faith and socially responsible employment relations between the employee and the employer, a set of instruments should be used, one of which is systematic programs for training and enhancing staff competencies. Training underpins employees’ loyalty to a particular employer by demonstrating the use and development of human potential. Training must be systematic, since one off session doesn’t achieve the goals of good faith conduct and, more importantly, can’t influence the efficiency with which an employee performs their job function. Based on the analysis conducted, the apprenticeship (training) agreement, mentoring, and professional development were systematized, and it was shown how each instrument contributes to the development of good faith and socially responsible employment relations and strengthens personnel security within the organization.
