Summary/Abstract: The existence of labour relations is practically visible through various functions of human resources management.

However their implementation is impossible without informal contact of line managers and team leaders with employees as well as among employees themselves. In questionnaire research we conducted at School of Economics and Management in Public Administration in Bratislava, we focused on finding out whether and to what extent organisations operating in Slovakia focus on labour relations.The analysis implied that organisations prefer a direct verbal form of communication in top-down as well as bottom-up communication, however employees did not submit comments in almost 20% of interviewed organisations in 2010, as they were afraid, or they only discussed them at the horizontal level
