Employer-employee relations
- Good relations raise motivation, productivity and retention 员工保留.
- Trade unions 工会 represent workers collectively; collective bargaining 集体谈判 negotiates pay and conditions.
Managing change and conflict
- Disputes can lead to industrial action 劳工行动 (strikes, work-to-rule) — costly for both sides.
- Resolving conflict through negotiation 谈判 and consultation 协商 protects the business.
Soft HRM costs more up front but can pay back. Investing in training and involvement raises costs now, but often lifts productivity, quality and retention — frequently outperforming a pure cost-cutting (hard) approach.
You've got it
- hard HRM treats labour as a cost/resource; soft HRM treats people as valued assets
- good employer-employee relations lift motivation and retention
- trade unions bargain collectively; resolve conflict by negotiation and consultation
Write from a training budget of 18000
- The training budget rises from 10000 to 18000.
- Say whether that shift looks more like soft or hard HRM.
A firm raises its yearly training budget from 10000 to 18000 and describes staff as assets. Is this closer to hard HRM or soft HRM, and by how much did the budget rise?
18000 minus 10000 is 8000, and the asset view is soft HRM.
How much did the training budget rise?
