According to Dr. John O'Driscoll, employers and
employees still have implied legal rights and obligations in the employment
relationship. claims that unless the terms of the contract have been fixed
through collective bargaining, the employer has the authority to dictate them.
the employee has corresponding obligations, which include obedience,
competence, honesty, and loyalty.

employee's pledge to deliver skills and effort in return for a salary.
Talent and skill in exchange for a salary or wage

.The Importance of good employee relationship
The workforce is still a challenge to deal with, and
it is not one to be underestimated. Employees have a right to speak up, and
denying them this essential right will harm their productivity, effort, and
overall pleasure.
Workers aren't merely there to show up, perform their
work, and leave. And, frighteningly, many firms are still operated in this
manner.
A good work environment has a direct impact on employee
relations as well as corporate performance. This is due to the fact that if a
member of staff is happy and comfortable where they work, they are more likely
to speak openly, feel more motivated, and give it their all, resulting in
better production.
A good workplace is a place where everyone wants to
work, and ensures the smooth running of business. This means regular
involvement, commitment and employee engagement all play a part in maintaining
a positive working environment for employees. The best way to maintain this is
by having a team of people who want to work together
