Vision & Values When the day-to-day workplace relationship is in reasonable shape, there is often a lack of clarity about the kind of relationship and the quality of the workplace that the parties wish to develop for their mutual good. Union and management leadership can develop a shared vision, and together they can identify barriers to the achievement of the desired relationship and jointly plan to overcome those barriers. A shared vision and agreed-upon values can provide useful criteria to promote constructive practices toward ever improving relationships.
