HPWO Partnerships The High Performance Work Organization (HPWO) program is a partnership effort for labor and management. The IAM realizes that creating a better work environment where management and labor make joint decisions about the workplace keeps American jobs at home. HPWO agreements differ from "quality circles" and other management-designed participatory work schemes because HPWOs require a role for workers in designing the company's growth strategy as well as the workplace. The HPWO Department staff devote many hours in the field and the Winpisinger Center helping locals and districts negotiate successful HPWO agreements.
