Labor-Management

This is perhaps the most important function of municipal management. Even the smallest municipalities in the state employ dozens of full-time workers across departments, and you want to keep your staff informed, respected, and properly utilized. You want to be aware of unionized members’ contract deadlines, pay history, and more, so you can anticipate their reactions to ongoing and upcoming projects—including Redevelopments, land surveys, rezoning, and much more.

Ensuring that your full-time and part-time workers understand their roles in the municipality is essential to being a good manager. In our experience, understanding their grievances, and when it is or isn’t your role to advocate for them, enables you to present goals to your inter-departmental staff, and achieve buy-in.

At NJCS, we have managed small and large municipal workforces, and are glad to share our insights with your municipal leadership teams.
