It has been of increasing concern that the discipline of Employee Relations (ER) is not being perceived as relevant/attractive as career option by students in Business Schools. Simultaneously, the faculty/trainers of ER, who are important links in the career guidance process of students, need to refresh their knowledge on ER practices, statutory applications and contemporary teaching‐learning experiences. This programme, to be held at Welingkar Institute on June 23 to 25th, seeks to bridge some of these gaps by investments in the teachers/trainers of Employee Relations.

The programme is directed by Mr Marcel R Parker [Chairman of IKYA Human Capital Solutions and a HR practitioner of long standing who is associated with the EFI, NHRD and We School].

Interested B Schools wishing to nominate their ER faculty should connect with Mr CS Seshadri of We School MDP Centre @ css.seshadri@welingkar.org and remit the fees @Rs 3000 per participant in favour of “Prin.L N Welingkar Institute of Management and Research” latest by June 10th 2011.

As the numbers of seats are limited, B Schools are requested to limit their nominations to TWO per institution.
