Trust is the Foundation

High levels of leader-employee trust have a positive impact on brand, culture, recruitment, retention and, ultimately, financial performance. This trust also results in better implementation of best practices and increased likelihood of successful acquisition integration.

From the CEO to the first-line supervisor, every leader’s challenge in earning trust is balancing the mission, the workplace culture and fiscal responsibility. Labor Strategy Partners collaborates with executive and leadership teams to develop labor strategies for deliberate cultural improvement and organizational growth, and for maintaining a union-free environment. We are the independent advisors that help balance and apply the logic of data analytics with the art and skill of leadership.

Business Challenge

You have confidence in your organization’s mission, direction and planning — but successful execution is facing workplace culture and employee relations roadblocks. Difficulty in recruitment and retention, lack of employee engagement, and threats of unionization are standing in the way of more rapidly achieving organizational goals.

Economics

It is more economical for our clients to invest in proactive organizational health improvement steps, what we call preventive labor strategies. Campaign costs (to defend against a union organizing drive) are typically 7x to 20x the cost of a prevention program. And these proactive prevention strategies are less disruptive to your organization's pursuit of business goals and objectives, while improving culture, engagement, recruitment and retention.
