Labor Organization and Union Industry Challenges and Trends
Ensuring you’re following government guidelines and compliance rules properly can be overwhelming as these rules and regulations can sometimes be confusing or hard to interpret. We offer you “peace of mind” by helping you stay compliant with the Department of Labor Office of Labor Management Standards (OLMS) and Internal Revenue Service (IRS).
Our Solutions
Finding ways to keep current members engaged and advocating for the benefits of membership is a current focus for labor organizations. Intranets, member portals and dashboards are effective tools to increase insightfulness, communication and engagement.
Safely housing union member data is a top concern with data piracy on the rise. Do you have ample policies, systems and best practices in place to protect member data and internal and external controls? Assessments can help you create a data security plan that fits your organization’s data security needs.
