The five methods tcuimprove industrial relations are as follows: 

1. Sound personnel policies: Policies and procedures concerning the compensation, transfer, promotion, etc. of employees should be fair and transparent. All policies and rules relating to industrial relations should be clear to everybody in the enterprise and to the union leaders. 

2. Constructive attitudes: Both management and trade unions should adopt positive attitudes towards each other. Management must recognise union as the spokesman of worker’s grievances. The employer should accept workers as equal partners in a joint endeavour. 

3. Participative management: Employers should associate workers and unions in the formulation and implementation of personnel policies and practices. Management should convince workers of the integrity and sincerity of the company.
