How Will Your Employees Make Two Key Decisions?
Last month we discussed:
- how your employees decide daily - often subconsciously - how Engaged and Committed they are to their jobs and your organization
- that Engaged Employees are more productive, provide higher customer satisfaction and generate significantly more profit
- and that your employees' level of Engagement is primarily determined by their relationship with their immediate Supervisor
The Second Decision Your Employees Will be Making
According to the National Association of Manufacturers, the Corporate Executive Board, The New Your Times, etc. in the next two months Congress is probably going to pass EFCA. Senator Harkin has said that "an agreement is "80-90% there." While the final version of the legislation is yet to be determined, those closest to the situation expect that it will include:
- a 'quickie' election occurring just 5-10 days after the petition - giving employers very little time to react
- employers no longer being able to persuade employees not to vote for the union in 'captive audience' presentations
- a union organizer having access to your employees on your company property
- should your company and the union not reach an agreement on the terms of the first contract, a government appointed Arbitrator will dictate your company's wages, benefits, etc.
So the 'bottom line' is, in the very near future it will be significantly easier for a union to organize your employees.
Utilizing extensive organizational and employee relations research, The Focus Group has developed an employee survey that will provide you with:
- your levels of Employee Engagement and Union Vulnerability across your organization
- by Supervisor their employee team's level of Employee Engagement and Union Vulnerability
Once you 'know where you stand' we can also assist you in developing a tailored improvement plan with any number of initiatives for increasing your levels of Employee Engagement and decreasing your Union Vulnerability.
These improvement plans always more than pay for themselves.
