Company Profile
LGPI
Company Overview
The Local Government Personnel Institute is a membership-based public agency that offers Human Resources and Labor Relations assistance to cities, counties, and special districts throughout Oregon.
We were founded in 1971 as a joint venture between the League of Oregon Cities (LOC) and the Association of Oregon Counties (AOC). LGPI is governed by a five-member Board of Directors and, when fully staffed, employs 8-12 full- and part-time staff.
LGPI members rest easy knowing that knowledgeable, passionate, practical, and professional help is just a phone call or email away when it is most needed. LGPI members receive no-cost technical assistance, and a discounted rate on LGPI consulting services, including Labor Relations representation, HR assistance, background & internal affairs investigations, training, and so much more. Oregon's local governments have saved thousands of dollars employing our expert advice to avert crises and to handle their everyday needs in Labor Relations and Human Resources.
Our HR experts conduct salary surveys, classification and compensation studies, write job descriptions, and answer tough HR dilemmas. If you need help dealing with an employee issue, or if you're looking for representation in union negotiations, our experienced Labor Relations consultants are your best choice. Our consultants travel across the state to assist our members whenever it's needed.
Cities, counties, special districts, councils of government, community colleges, and other local governments all benefit from our services.
