INFLUENCES ON EMPLOYEE RELATIONS

Assignment Overview

(Signature Assignment: Information Literacy, Emphasized Level)

As mentioned previously, there are many influences on employee relations in organizations. One of the most relevant today is the amount of information that is available to us.

There are numerous sources of information available to us as students, employees, labor union representatives, and HRM professionals. For example, students might use sources from the Internet. Before we use information that we have found, however, it is important that we evaluate its authority and appropriateness.

In this assignment you will be evaluating some sources available to you.

Start by reviewing some of the following articles and making a list of important factors needed to evaluate sources:
