Employee Opinion Surveys | Work Environment Audit
The most effective preventive labor relations tool in an organization’s arsenal is the Employee Opinion Survey, also known as a Work Environment Audit.  Employees can be an organization’s greatest asset or its worse liability.  In an ideal world, your employees will be your greatest asset, and the best way to help ensure this is by asking them for their input.

Our comprehensive Opinion Surveys serve several key purposes:

• Executive Management obtains a clear “snapshot” of current employee attitudes and issues, which allows them to form a plan for resolving current problems and avoiding potential problems.
• The survey allows employees to express their thoughts, feelings, and insights.  Oftentimes, employees are closest to the problems and closest to the solutions and their input can be an invaluable resource.
• The survey provides a vehicle for employees to have their voices heard at the highest corporate levels.  Not only does this give employees the general feeling that executive management cares about them, it allows executive management to receive unfiltered data straight from the front line staff that may be necessary to make the best possible business decisions.

Employee Education
While it is generally true that “an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure,” in labor relations, an ounce of prevention can be the cure. 

Once card signing has begun or a petition has been filed, the best way to prevent a union from coming into your business is to equip your employees with the information they need to make an informed decision.  We have great confidence in employees and their ability to make sound decisions when presented positively with the facts.  It has been our experience, that when given the true facts about unions, a majority of employees choose to place their confidence with their employer. 

Generally, LRSI consultants educate employees in the following areas:

• The National Labor Relations Act and employee rights.
• The real implications of signing union-authorization cards.
• The benefits of maintaining a union-free workplace.
• Why a union isn’t the answer to their problems.

Our goal is to bridge any gap that may exist between management and hourly employees and to establish a solid foundation for materially improving the work environment.  Together, we improve the employee-employer relationship at your facility, ultimately, making unions a moot point in the eyes of your employees.

New Employee Orientation Programs
One of the premier opportunities for an organization to instill its concept of a positive work environment and its union-free “philosophy” is during the employees’ initial orientation.  Along with the standard Human Resources and organization information, many organizations have found that this is the perfect time for one of our professionals to educate employees on labor relations and the benefits of a union-free workplace in a low-key, positive manner.

Custom Labor Relations Videos
Labor Relations Services, Inc. understands that each of our clients possess a certain work environment culture, group of employees and set of issues and concerns that are unique to them.  Not only can our professionals design a tailor-made program best suited to your labor relations needs, we can create custom videos for your organization as well.

Research has demonstrated that videos can be one of the most effective means of communications between employers and employees.  As a matter of fact, our experience has shown that when provided with their own personal copy of a corporate video, employees typically view the material an additional 2.4 times, which is considerably better than the typical single exposure to information in an orientation setting.  In addition, an employee’s spouse or significant other typically views the material as well, which ultimately helps with employee “buy-in.”

These videos have been particularly successful when used to supplement New Employee Orientation programs.  By including organization information, Human Resource protocols and procedures and labor relations material, employers help ensure that employees are well informed and aware of organization protocols and philosophies.
