Management Strategy Presentation
Labor unions are organized groups who have been established by workers in order to represent employees of an organization and protect their interests.
Also, unions are responsible for promoting a mutually beneficial connection between the workers and their employees.
Several contextual factors are impacting the union environment, which includes automation.
Automation influences the strength of labor unions since it can cause a surplus number of workers and a minimum number of union members.
factors impacting the Union environment
Employees advocate for labor unions when they do not feel that their interests are being considered and when the employer has no beneficial mutual connection with them.
They join unions because they believe that unions will represent them better. The best thing to do as an employer in order to avoid unions is by employing consistent practices and policies.
The other thing is having an open door in management policies.
Also, an employer should consider having competitive pay and some benefits.
Finally, an employer should establish trust and recognition with his or her employees.
How to keep employees satisfied
Negotiating and building relationships with workers is important, and in order to foster that as a leader, there are steps to follow (Salacuse, 2019).
The first thing is developing two-way communication with employees.
Another thing is being a committed and reliable leader.
Besides, a leader must respect the contributions the employees make to the company.
Negotiation and relationship building strategy
One of the most effective strategies is showing employees that they are valued and listened to (Andriotis, 2016). In cases where employees feel as if they are being listened to, the chances of them engaging increases.
The other strategy is having an employee voice. Conducting surveys once in a year will not effectively examine how the company is doing, therefore, as a leader, it is important to facilitate channels which will allow employees to give an opinion or feedbacks about arising issues.
