# --description--
`Employee dynamics` refers to the way employees interact and work together in a workplace. It's an example of using one noun (`employee`) to describe another noun (`dynamics`). This type of descriptive noun helps give more specific information about the subject. Other examples include `race car`, where `race` describes the type of car, and `garden hose`, where `garden` describes the type of hose.
