Your Employees are Organizing a Union

Managers and supervisors find having to manage employees that are not represented quite challenging. Such managers, when they are oblivious to the signs of an upcoming union, fail to see that it can develop into something very big, which could eventually harm the organization in a number of ways.
As those who run organizations, managers and supervisors should have the ability to foresee the birth of a union. This should happen, ideally, before a union gets the appropriate number of signed Authorization Cards which allows the NLRB to conduct a secret election. Not for nothing is it said that from the management’s perspective, the election that is never held is the ideal one.
Traininng.com, a leading provider of professional training for all the areas of regulatory compliance and human resources, will, at a webinar that it is organizing on October 16, explain how to gauge signs of the creation of an impending employee union.

At this webinar, the expert will show not one or two, but as many as 20 signs to look for, which display hints of the formation of a union. No law forbids employees from forming one; it is only the clandestine ones that need to be checked in advance. Unions have to meet the guidelines set out by the regulatory agencies if they are to be deemed as legal.
Some of the issues addressed at this session include what you can and cannot do, guidelines of good management, dangers of signing the Authorization Card, the NLRB election, and unfair labor practices committed by Managers. This knowledge will help managers become better aware of how to foresee the formation of the union and act in a proper and legal way before it is too late. This can result in massive savings for the organization.
Gerry will offer understanding of these among other areas at this webinar:
  • Initial warning signs of union organizing
  • What you can do and what you cannot do
  • The dangers of your employees signing an Authorization Card
  • Unfair labor practices your managers may commit
  • The NLRB election and its intricacies
  • Tips, tactics and techniques of union organizing
  • Guidelines of good management.
This webinar will benefit these among other personnel: Managers, Supervisors, Directors, Vice Presidents, or any member of the management team with responsibility of managing or interacting with non-represented employees.

The Proper Way to Correct I-9 Documents and Not Pay Penalties

Surprising as it might sound, many employers are either unaware of I-9 documents penalties and fines, or are willing to take the risk of noncompliance. This is a very bad situation to be in, something that has been compounded by the fact that the regulatory agencies are communicating more than ever before on this topic. The way in which the departments communicate with each other makes it easier for them to target employers. Yet, the fact is that most complaints come from disgruntled employees, while others come from audits of target industries. Moreover, the DHS developed a new I-9 Form effective from January 21, 2017, which has to be used immediately. This makes it imperative for employers to be aware of all the new guidelines for completing the new I-9 form as well as the ongoing regulations. A webinar that is being organized by Traininng.com, a leading provider of professional training for all the areas of regulatory compliance, will give proper understanding and perspective on ...

Changing Behavior: Why Rewards and Punishments Often Aren't Enough

Major changes have been taking place at the workplace. Today, the workforce is no longer a staid or static one. It is lively, vibrant and mobile. No organization can expect to retain a workforce in which wholehearted appreciation is not forthcoming or where the employees do not make a difference. Organizations judge employees on the quality of their own work, but also that of their team members. This makes it necessary for individuals to assist their team members and help them raise their standards. However, with each employee being unique, one standard method or principle cannot be applied across the board. Team members, especially Leads and Managers, need to learn the fundamentals of human motivation if they have to motivate and engage each employee and the entire team for top performance in tune with their unique strengths, attitudes and skillsets. Some of the questions they have to pose to themselves and be able to answer include: What works well and what doesn’t? How effecti...

A step-by-step process for the first 90 days in their new role

Supervisors, managers and leaders that have moved into a new role get a very small amount of the training that they need to be successful in the role. Despite having sound qualifications and years of experience, and despite given the fact that most people learn on the job, there are many aspects that are unknown about the job and the new role. Research has consistently proven this. The first three months are a crucial period for building the vital learning needed for phasing into a new role painlessly. What learning should be imparted during this period? What should be learnt and how? Who should impart this learning? A webinar, which Traininng.com, leading provider of professional training for all the areas of regulatory compliance is organizing on September 27, will explain these and all other aspects of phasing into the new role. Michael Healey, a senior human resources professional, will be the expert at this webinar. Please register for this valuable learning session by logging ...
