Union Avoidance In the United States the measurement of a successful management organization is a union-free environment. This can be achieved by knowing key issues that lead employees to seek outside representation, and then develop programs and communications to assist in development of ways to address each issue. Our strategies include vulnerability assessments, "Change" management communications and several supervisory training programs.

Change Management Communications Effective communication strategy must integrate organizational objectives with labor relations strategies. Strategic plans developed by The Burke Group recognize the need to be both flexible and responsive to internal and external audiences. The Burke Group understands the importance of actively managing the organization’s image during a labor relations campaign. INTRANET technology needs to be used as an enhancement to our successful techniques in order to reach the younger “user friendly” generation. When employees feel vulnerable because of business actions – mergers/acquisitions, downsizing, etc., they become susceptible to the promises of the unions to “protect” them. Management can also be ineffective when they do not understand the business climate and do not have the communications skills critical to preserving effective employee relations. The Burke Group’s years of experience have shown that providing both the management team and the workforce with quality, reliable information is one of the best techniques for success.

Most importantly, these interactions have proven to be a valuable tool for developing effective management skills.
