Program Overview: What is Employee Relations?
Employee Relations is a 19-hour program for HR professionals, people managers, and HRBPs handling employee relations. Across 5 modules it covers ER foundations, grievances, complex cases, investigations, and proactive ER. It suits organizations that want fair, consistent, legally sound people practices.
Training is interactive: every concept is taught through practice sessions and realistic scenarios: participants run grievance processes, investigate cases, handle disciplinary scenarios, and design ER frameworks with peer discussion and instructor coaching. Scenarios mirror real ER work.
Organizations struggle with ER inconsistency: unfair processes, legal risk, and damaged trust. This program builds real ER capability: fair procedures, sound investigations, and proactive prevention. Your workplace gains fairness that holds up.
A 5-hour capstone closes the program, where participants audit current practice and present a complete ER framework.

Handle Employee Relations Cases With Fair Process and Clear Documentation
Edstellar develops employee-relations practice through case management, grievance handling, investigations, complex scenarios, and proactive prevention. Participants rehearse fictional people matters before designing an ER framework. The final review examines procedural fairness, evidence handling, role clarity, and manager support, without treating a training outcome as legal advice on a real employment dispute.
- Step 01
Consult
We explore HR and management responsibilities, identifying gaps in grievance handling, investigation records, disciplinary processes, manager coaching, and the consistency of employee-relations decisions.
- Step 02
Plan
We establish ER roles and legal foundations before grievance and investigation practice, then complex cases, proactive policies, and prevention within an integrated ER framework.
- Step 03
Align
We align employee-relations facilitation with HR professionals, managers, and HR business partners, adapting case assumptions to jurisdiction and introducing specialist processes where needed.
- Step 04
Customize
We tailor fictional grievances, performance issues, and conduct scenarios to relevant workplaces, excluding identifiable employee records and distinguishing procedural practice from actual case decisions.
- Step 05
Execute
Participants rehearse grievance interviews, document findings, and analyze complex cases, receiving feedback on impartiality, fair process, evidence gaps, and appropriate escalation.
- Step 06
Evaluate
We assess the ER framework for clear case responsibilities, consistent documentation, fair review stages, and proactive manager support linked to a practical implementation plan.
