Rapid Response Team Training™

Strategic Response to the Earliest Signs of Union Activity


In today’s labor-friendly regulatory environment, speed and rapid response are essential. Hours and minutes count. Our exclusive three day, detailed immersion training for employer Rapid Response Teams, help organizations to quickly and confidently respond and lead a defense against card-signing or NLRB petitions as internal, company consultants. Unlike other programs, our Rapid Response Team Training™ provides live simulations, role playing, extensive communications practice for educating and influencing employees, as well as effective learning about strategies and tactics. Includes detailed manual with communication tools, roles and responsibilities, and the initial development of campaign plans.
