Positive Employee Relations Practices (PERP™)

A necessary element in maintaining positive, effective, innovative and union free environments is a management team with good interpersonal communications and problem solving/coaching skills.  Our (PERP™) Positive Employee Relations Practices provide the practical skills to enable your management team to handle day to day employee relations issues and build a positive work atmosphere.  It is an interactive practical program.  Using behavior modeling and skill practice techniques, it addresses REAL issues.

Management and Supervisor Coaching

One of the most valuable services The Burke Group provides is the quality and effectiveness of supervisory coaching.  Our consultants conduct one-on-one interviews with supervisors to provide real-time coaching, counseling, feedback, and role-playing.  These sessions can provide additional materials and an opportunity to answer questions that may not be addressed in the group setting. Most importantly, these interactions have proven to be a valuable tool for developing effective management and communications skills.


Supervisory Skills Training

In almost every employee or labor relations initiative, the key to success is securing the effective support of the front line management team. Well-trained supervisors not only need to understand the importance of remaining union-free, but also the fundamentals required to do so.  Our training provides management with the skills, tools and coaching necessary to be successful. Where appropriate, we utilize professionally produced videos and training aids, which have proven effective, or produce products tailored to the workforce.

Supervisory training includes:

  • The National Labor Relations Act
  • Specific union awareness training
  • Card signing mitigation
  • Effective communication and advocacy strategies
  • Relevant case studies
  • Questions and answers about campaign
  • Business Literacy

Business Literacy

Employees who understand the business needs of an organization add more value to their organization. Supervisors and managers often do not have the information or understanding for effectively communicating the business needs to the employee in a proactive manner. To be effective, information must be discussed regularly at the point of impact with the opportunity for meaningful discussion.
