Employee Relations Specialist Jobs in Michigan

An Employee Relations Specialist in the human resources industry is primarily responsible for handling all aspects related to employee relations within an organization. They analyze and interpret existing policies and procedures, handle complaints and disputes, and execute disciplinary procedures. They also provide counseling and advice on work-related issues, participate in conflict resolution, and help to create a healthy work environment. They ensure the organization complies with all labor laws and regulations, and they play a key role in managing the relationship between employees and management.

An Employee Relations Specialist should have excellent negotiation and conflict resolution skills, strong communication and interpersonal skills, and a good understanding of labor laws and regulations. They should preferably hold a bachelor's degree in Human Resources, Business Administration, or a related field. Professional certifications, such as Professional in Human Resources (PHR), Senior Professional in Human Resources (SPHR), or Certified Employee Relations Professional (CERP), are highly desirable. Prior to becoming an Employee Relations Specialist, individuals might have roles such as Human Resources Coordinator, Human Resources Generalist, or Employee Relations Associate.
