Employees want to be respected, heard, and treated fairly. When they’re not, their workplace could become vulnerable to union organizing. And whether an employee accepts or rejects a union is often directly tied to the behaviors and habits of management.

NAVEX’s Union Awareness (Part 1) aims to cover the ways an organization’s leadership can positively influence the workplace, recognizing employees’ rights and helping to prevent issues that are often a root cause of union organizing efforts. Through the use of animation, video and interactive, real-world scenarios, the course engages learners and drives home critical points and best practices.

When managers pay attention to their employees’ needs – when they know how to do this effectively and why it matters – their employees are less likely to seek out a third party to advocate on their behalf. And that, in turn, can create a positive, respectful workplace environment that benefits everyone.
