"With an audit and a few hours counsel a few months ago, the whole campaign might have been averted. That would have saved our employees from what turned out to be a traumatizing experience and scars that will take a long time to heal. Anyway, when we called TBG, we were already under siege. The expertise of TBG made all the difference. The union defeated, I am obliged to tell you it couldn't have been done without the support of The Burke Group. Thanks for helping us save our employees from the union."

"We are sincerely grateful for the key role The Burke Group has played in our employees' recent ability to avoid the union. The multitude of efforts your team provided including, establishment of a campaign strategy, communication pieces, newspaper articles and videos, and training on the NLRA for both our employees and our managers has lead to our successful defeat of the union! Even more impressive was your assistance in gaining awareness of the underlining issues. NOT understanding them is what resulted in our employees considering a union to represent them in the first place. With this information, we are now able to take the steps necessary to make a difference in the work environment we create for our employees and hopefully avoid the union from this point forward. Thank you, we couldn't have done it without you!"

In short, they had a myriad of services to offer us, and we could select whatever best met our needs."

"The Interpersonal Skills Training (PERP) program has been an important part of our supervisory development program. Our company culture supports promotion from within which makes Interpersonal Skills training even more important because many of the individuals promoted have not had previous supervisory experience. This program takes the actual on the job experience of the participants combines them with instructors who are able to facilitate the learning process with the role playing, and creates a highly effective educational program that makes us a better team. Here at our distribution center, we are in the people business as we rely on positive associate relations to accomplish our customer service objectives. I believe that any organization that embraces the tenets advocated by this program will reap the benefit of improvements in morale, operating results, customer service and growth. It works, and is well worth the investment."
