Lloyd M. Field

As an international management consultant for the past 30 years, Dr. Lloyd Field has been challenged by some of the best leadership minds in the business community.

With a rational understanding and values-based principals, he tactfully stands his ground, routinely convincing these same leaders to develop Positive Employee Relations™ strategies that have placed their organizations outside the need for a trade union. His track record is also very impressive - on behalf of clients - he has NEVER lost to a union organizing campaign when his recommendations were followed. In all this time only two clients have not followed his advice ... they were unionized within 3 months.

Lloyd’s method creates organizational cultures so that employees, at all levels, develop "self-respect through self-responsibility”. This sea change has consistently brought untold rewards to the leaders who support their employees in reaching their potential in both performance and innovation. Whether you are a CEO, a senior HR leader or Director of Manufacturing, Lloyd – with a genuine interest in people and profits – will explain why you NEVER have to be unionized. Not surprisingly, the international business community continues to seek out his counsel when it comes to respectful leadership cultures and remaining union free.

The 5th North American Edition of Unions Are Not Inevitable!© espouses the theories and practices of Lloyd’s values-based Positive Employee Relations™ philosophy in a proven step-by-step program.

When asked if he is anti-union, Lloyd’s response is “absolutely not! However, no company needs the added burden of union bureaucracy. If employees are treated as legitimate stakeholders, their needs will be met through Positive Employee Relations™ and engagement with their work."

Lloyd and his family live in Waterloo, ON and Tucson, AZ. He has been an active community volunteer throughout his life. Other interests include the study of history, Buddhism and comparative religions; music; and designing and making one-of-a-kind pieces of leaded stained glass; and regular Skype visits with his granddaughter Alice.
