What is Labor and Employee Relations (LER)?
Labor and Employee Relations (LER) assists in preventing and resolving problems that may affect the workplace.  In addition, Employee Relations recognizes employees for the service contributed and provides assistance with professional growth.  LER staff provide a full range of advisory services in Labor Relations and Employee Relations for all commands at Headquarters Marine Corps, MCB Quantico, and other locations (such as Indianapolis, IN and New Orleans, LA) – wherever our serviced population is located.

TRAINING
The LER Office presents trainings in support of our ongoing effort to bring relevant and reliable information to our customers at the Pentagon or aboard Marine Corps Base Quantico. We provide a Certificate of  Completion for attendance in our training sessions, however, we do not provide continuing education (CE) hours or other types of credit hours. The LER Section presents various training throughout the calendar year and utilize Microsoft TEAMS for our virtual sessions.  Exact training dates and times will be provided to Command HR Liaisons and Training Coordinators via email approximately 2 weeks in advance.
 
 
On-Demand Virtual Trainings via milBook
Our live training sessions are recorded and made available on milBook.  This platform is a part of milSuite, which provides a collection of social business tools for Department of Defense (DoD) personnel.  Users access the milBook site with a Common Access Card (CAC) to watch recorded training videos on their government laptop anytime and anywhere, meaning users can take control of their own learning at a time and place that suits them.  Please, click the icon below to visit our milBook page and take advantage of these training opportunities:
