A high-performing organization makes the best use of its human resources, contracts and procedures whether in a union or independent workplace. We help clients equip supervisors and structure work systems and policies to operate effectively under labor contracts by understanding the rights, responsibilities, constraints and opportunities in those contracts. Properly constructed, labor contracts should give managers wide latitude in assigning work, communicating with employees and maintaining a positive work environment. But much depends on your ability to administer contracts efficiently and effectively. The tactical administration of contracts is even more important in those organizations:

• With several different bargaining units
• With multiple unions representing employees on the property
• Considering a merger, sale or any significant strategic change that will affect staffing and work conditions

IRI’s contract administration services help organizations optimize productivity to the full extent permitted by collective bargaining agreements, and avoid grievances and unfair labor practices, which put a tremendous strain on an organization's resources and negatively affect employee morale.
