I get many employees from unionized environments in my workshops and many have their enthusiasm dampened by a system they perceive to be inflexible and not rewarding of performance. <br /><br />It is true that unionized environments present their unique challenges just as non-unionized environments do. Listed below are 2 lies that these students are in danger of believing.<br /><br />1) They can't deal with non performance.<br /><br />2) This place will never change. <br /><br />Both of these are lies. When we spend some time setting realistic expectations on performance and change management they tend to leave with a new approach and energy to their job & workplace.<br />While it is true that a unionized environment is not optimal for everyone ( it would not be for me). It can be a very rewarding environment in which to work.<br /><br />I wish you every success with this piece. It is a needed knowledge piece in today's economy.Freedom House Leadership and Communicationhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01712138350683422836noreply@blogger.com
