While the norm for collective agreements has been around fiscal restraint especially in the public sector, the increasing impact on technology have made for intense negotiations for many manufacturing sectors.
We will cover recent trends in negotiations, requirements and pain points in the processes as well as showcase new technology that is available for managing grievances.
Companies need visibility into past and present grievances so that they can apply consistent corrective measures. Technology will reduce time and improve compliance and accountability that helps organizations manage cost effectively the grievance process and outcomes.
Labor management is a critical aspect for any organization. Many companies have unions to ensure that Labor policies are fair and consistent for all employees. In unionized work environments, an employee can raise grievances in case any policies have been violated. An organization can have hundreds of grievances in a year.
All grievances require investigations and arbitrations meetings which are recorded on paper and cause a traceability headache. Technology is available now enabling employees to create grievance and complaints. Managers & unions can follow through grievance steps and record the outcomes of complaints. Supervisors can create disciplinary actions, maintain employee records.
