A critical review about the book on “Managing Labour Relations” by Mr. Shekhar G.N., General Manager – Human Resources & Employee Relations, Biesse Manufacturing Co. Pvt.Ltd.,

The present ‘Gen C, i.e., Computer-based Generation’ of HR professional have the propensity to build a career in talent acquisition, performance management, training and development, HR Analytics, and so on but not in Industrial Relations. This mind-set of our younger HR professionals will be going to be a danger and creating IR Resources scarcity in next a few years. As I understood, the ‘Gen C’ HR folks perceive the career in Industrial Relations as a threat, non-encouraging, and low potential profile, moreover, they think that this role is more complicated and legal. In such a dangerous situation, impelling the ‘Gen C’ by eliminating their myths, and inspiring them to aspire, a career in Industrials Relations is the necessity. In this direction, the book ‘Managing Labour Relations – A Practical Handbook with Strategies and Techniques’ by Mr.Govindaraju N.S. is a masterpiece and consolidates practical aspects to deal with workers, union and management.

They want experience in others' cost!
