Dear Prashant,
All the terms are explained very well. People use them interchangeably because many times they themselves are not clear, or they are trying to explain to people in other professions. However, for HR professionals, the terms as explained by Neha, Gopan, or J. Gurjar are all correct. You need to understand the differences and use the terms accordingly. If you don't know any specific activity which should be treated under engagement, relations, or welfare, then you can be an HR Generalist. With more experience, you will be able to differentiate the concepts.
Thanks,

Hi all!
I think Gopan has spelled out very correctly and in better English about employee engagement, employee relations, and employee welfare. Now, there need not be any confusion or differences of opinions. Thanks, Gopan. We need your comments and help in other issues too.

Hi! I don't know much, but as per my knowledge, there is a difference between three:
Employee Engagement Activities - These are activities that act as stress relievers for employees so that they don't feel overloaded with work and feel good at work. It fosters a sense of belonging towards the organization.
Employee Relations - This should include training sessions on soft skills, etiquettes, a sense of belonging towards the organization and its people, working as a team, and so on. Working on all these improves relations among associates, making them friendly. At any time, if there will be any problem between them, they will forget it and work towards achieving the goals of the organization, irrespective of their egos and all.
Employee Welfare - When the organization starts taking care of the needs of not only their associates but also provides benefits to their families, the bond between employees and the organization becomes stronger. Now they don't work only for money; they also love working there and want their company to reach new heights of success. They always speak positively about their company and encourage others.
That's all! I don't know how much it will be of help to you; if you don't find it good, let me know where I'm wrong based on my knowledge.
Thanks!

Hi friends,
I am into marine services with a fleet of barges and AHT's operating worldwide. Our management consists of four board members; one member is in operations, and the other is in commercial.
The dilemma is that as an operations person, we do not want the commercial head to interfere in operations or with the operations team. Can I get some feedback on a policy defining board member guidelines, or please suggest a better solution.
Regards,
Rohit

Hi Gopan,
Very crisp answer indeed. All three terms are interlinked and play the role of sound mind, body, and soul in the organization. Employee engagement is for employees to feel related and attached to the organization, employee relations are for healthy bonding between the employees and also with the management, whereas employee welfare are the benefits the personnel enjoys apart from salary.
Good Day!

In one of the interviews, they asked me about Employee Engagement and informed me that Employee Engagement, Employee Relations, and Employee Grievances are three distinct terms. They wanted to demonstrate their correctness. Honestly, people interpret terminologies based on their understanding. I believe EE, ER, and EG should collectively represent Employee Engagement since we deal with all these aspects. To provide more clarity, we could categorize them under Employee Engagement, with ER and EG as subcategories.
