The relationship between employees and employers is fundamental to the success of any organization, with HRM acting as the bridge to ensure a healthy, productive work environment. This article explores how HRM fosters positive employee relations through effective communication, conflict resolution, performance management, and employee engagement strategies. It also examines the impact of these relationships on overall productivity, highlighting how a motivated and satisfied workforce contributes to improved organizational outcomes. Ultimately, this paper underscores the importance of HRM as a strategic partner in promoting both employee well-being and organizational performance.
