Flexibility. Xxxxxx Permanente and the Alliance are committed to enhancement of organizational performance by developing and investing in people and aligning the systems and processes that support the achievement of organizational and partnership goals. Further, the parties are committed to Xxxxxx Permanente becoming a high- performance organization and to the KP Promise and the Labor Management Partnership as a foundation for reaching this goal. Market-driven change has created a challenging competitive situation that is characterized by a limited number of skilled workers and new entrants into the workforce, changes in technology, changes in clinical practice, cultural diversity, changing demographics and high demand for quality service. To become a high-performance organization in this environment requires organizational change. Becoming a high-performance organization also requires a pledge from Partner unions and Xxxxxx Permanente to modify traditional approaches, to work diligently to enhance flexibility in labor contracts, to willingly explore alternative ways to apply seniority and to address jurisdictional issues in order to achieve organizational performance goals. It is expected that the parties will undertake this in a way that is consistent with the Partnership, while at the same time preserving the principles of seniority and union jurisdiction. The following is minimally required to create an environment that balances Xxxxxx Permanente’s need for flexibility in removing barriers to enhanced performance with Partner unions’ need to honor seniority and jurisdiction. The goal is to create a climate based on trust that promotes achievement of Partnership outcomes and fosters an environment in which Xxxxxx Permanente, Partner unions and employees effectively respond to and address issues at the local level. It is not the intent of the parties to undermine the principles of seniority and union jurisdiction or to reduce the overall level of union membership. Management is not looking for the right to make changes unilaterally to achieve greater flexibility, but expects the unions to work with them to address flexibility needs. The need for and desirability of joint decision making is acknowledged. Management recognizes the unions’ interest in a balanced approach that will not disadvantage one union relative to another and acknowledges that a broad, long-term perspective should be adopted. and coordinating workflow across boundaries. It also requires alignment w...
