THE TOP TEN CRITICAL CHALLENGES FACED BY AGENCY LABOR
AND EMPLOYEE RELATIONS MANAGERS:
If you are a Federal Labor or Employee Relations
manager, you know these are among the most difficult
challenges you confront. It is almost a given that your
day-to-day workload will either stay at the same level
or increase when you are dealing with these issues. They
invariably come up when you’re short staffed. You also
know that recruiting people with the skills you need has
been difficult for as long as you can remember.
But most important, absolutely no manager wants to
hear why their particular issue isn’t first on your agenda,
that they might have to wait for assistance, or that
some other manager’s case may have a higher priority
than theirs.
SO, WHAT’S THE SOLUTION?
GRA Inc. has a proven record of helping Federal agencies meet these challenges successfully.
You’ve heard about us. What you may not have heard is exactly how we can help.

relations available to you. This can happen either on-site or off-site, or a combination of

critical issues.
