Course Description
Common practice after the CBA is signed is to stick to the black and white of contract language but executing your human capital strategy in a union environment is a study in shades of gray. Join us as we explore ways to drive your corporate values, HR strategy and ultimately, the success of organization by bringing your labor management strategy into alignment with managing the requisite culture change. In this session you will learn how to align your current approach to labor relations to your business strategy, use traditional labor tools and techniques to establish and sustain a new corporate culture of cooperation, and assess the effectiveness of your labor strategy implementation.
