Every leadership team is a collection of individuals, attempting to work together to produce extraordinary results. However, each individual brings to the team his or her biases, blind spots, emotional liabilities and egos. Often these liabilities create clashes, battles over control or intentionally ignoring the truth around situations that require immediate attention. The Human Resources executive has the unique opportunity to provide guidance, counseling and insights in these circumstances – but only if the HR executive has done the work to personally grow and fully understand the root causes and strategies for addressing them.

THE OFFICE OF LABOR MANAGEMENT STANDARDS’ (OLMS) FINAL RULE ON PERSUADER REPORTING
The Department of Labor (DOL) released its final rule re-interpreting the “Advice” Exemption in Section 203(c) of the Labor-Management Reporting and Disclosure Act, also known as the “persuader rule.” It will appear in the Federal Register March 24, 2016.
Under this rule, employers and their hired consultants (labor consultants or law firms) must report to DOL the scope and cost of these arrangements when the consultants are hired to persuade employees about unionization. In the past, employers have not had to report when consultants merely provide advice to the employer but do not directly interact with employees.
The final rule dramatically changes the interpretation of advice such that most arrangements between employers and consultants on union issues will now need to be reported.
The final rule made some changes based on stakeholder comments, including those from SHRM. The final rule tightens up language describing persuader activities, although the revised language still contains ambiguity. The final rule defines persuader activity that must be reported as:
Direct persuasion and four types of Indirect persuasion: providing persuader materials; directing supervisors; developing personnel policies and actions; and presenting union-avoidance seminars
Additional information on this final ruling can be found at: https://www.shrm.org/Advocacy/Issues/Documents/SHRM%20-%20DOL%20Issues%20Final%20Persuader%20Rule.pdf
