7 Secrets to Union & Management Success with Teams, MLMA 2014Deb Nystrom
Presented at the Partnerships in Progress Michigan Labor and Management Association Conference, 2014, East Lansing, Michigan http://mlma.org/
7 Secrets to Union-Management Success with Teams
Once what I want differs from what you want, we are in conflict. Conflict will naturally increase when shifting from a supervisor-to-employee model to a team model. This presentation describes a whole system, top to bottom and side to side process to implement teams in a union environment. The "from me to we" shift is continuous process that requires a different type of renewal annually. With commitment to this approach, everyone from top management and union officials down to frontline supervisors and employees can mutually benefit.

Learning Objective: Examine the factors for low numbers of women in the tech field and how to retain women tech professionals
Research has shown that most women leave the tech workforce after an average of 7 years. This is a huge, unnecessary loss of talent in a field facing a short of talent. Since the tech field is a major driver of the U.S. economy, this shortage impacts everyone. Some tech companies are struggling to hire and retain employees. When men and women with the same qualifications apply for the same job, studies have shown that they are evaluated differently. These biases may occur unconsciously and without intention or malice. This seminar will address the issue of how to address the gap.
At the end of this seminar, participants will be able to:
a. Examine the causes behind the lack of women in the tech field.
b. Discuss the natural bias that exists in our workforce culture.
c. Explore ways to change the workforce bias.

Bits of complexity, social media and self-organised networks stuff in there too... and Slideshare didn't like some of my fonts... c'est la vie!
