Industrial relations plays a important role today since good relations between the employers and employees contribute to continuous production without any interruption.Industry means the production process in which workmen is involved and relations means the the relationship that exist between the management and the workers in the industry.

labor relations is the relation that exist between the management of an organization and workforce.It also refers to the political decisions as well as the laws that affect it.

Employee relations refers to the relationship between employers and employees. An organization which has good employee relation gives good and equal treatment to all the employees in the organization.Such treatment of the organization makes the employees loyal to the organization and their committment to their jobs also remain good.
