SUMMARY:Fissures and Fractures in the Workplace: Defusing interpersonal conflicts and restoring collegial relations
DESCRIPTION:Program Overview \nComing Soon. \n\nWhat You’ll Learn: \nComing Soon. \n\nWho Should Attend \nComing Soon. \n\nDelivery Format \nComing Soon. \n\nFissures and Fractures in the Workplace: Defusing interpersonal conflicts and restoring collegial relations This practical skills-training workshop will equip attendees with strategies to identify\, address\, and diffuse interpersonal tensions before they escalate and after they have already escalated through multiple scenario-based discussions. Attendees will discuss the following topics with our Lancaster panel of experts working with them in small group-based discussions: \n  \n\nWhat does recent caselaw suggest about the line between safeguarding free speech at work and an employer’s duty to ensure a safe work environment? Can employees express political\, religious\, or controversial opinions in the workplace? When will an employee be subject to discipline for such statements?\nAt what point must an employer intervene where employees are in conflict due to differing beliefs or opinions? What is the role of the union in responding to these conflicts?\nCan employees be disciplined for statements made when interacting with other employees outside of the workplace?\nWhen do interpersonal conflicts rise to the level of bullying or harassment? Do employers have a legal obligation to address incivility or personal conflict that does not rise to this level?\nWhat organizational factors contribute to a higher incidence of workplace conflict? How should employers and unions identify whether those factors are present and what steps should be taken to improve the environment?\nWith many workplaces moving to a hybrid or remote model\, how can parties address workplace conflict in situations that may be more difficult to monitor\, such as online chats?\nWhat factors must be considered when dealing with conflict between an employee and supervisor\, as opposed to a conflict between two employees? What is the role of the union when conflict arises between employees who are union members?\nWhen is it appropriate to consider moving an employee to a different department or location rather than attempting to resolve the issues in the current environment?\nWhat role can mediation play in diffusing conflicts? How should employers and unions effectively prepare for mediation?\nWhat are key components of an effective conflict management policy? What alternative dispute resolution practices may be incorporated? Which key employees should be coached on communication\, verbal de-escalation\, or other conflict management techniques? What early intervention steps should be taken when conflict arises?\nWhat role can a trauma-informed approach play in addressing workplace conflict? How can such an approach aid employers and unions in understanding why conflict has developed and how to effectively respond?\nTo what degree will the fact that the impugned conflict was in keeping with the workplace culture\, or “condoned” by the employer\, impact an arbitrator’s or adjudicator’s assessment as to discipline or liability? Have changing attitudes towards workplace culture and mental health impacted the analysis?\n\nFood and Beverages \nBreakfast and lunch to be provided\, with a variety of snacks and refreshments available during breaks. Breakfast is provided prior to the workshop and will be available starting at 8:00 am. Please share any dietary requirements at the time of registration so we can best accommodate your needs. \n\nPricing \nLabour Law Conference – Workshop  \n$1\,255.00Add to cart	\n			\n \nBundle pricing is also available: \n\nLabour Law Conference & Workshop – Bundle (Conference + Workshop) \n\n$2\,195.00Add to cart	\n			\n  \n\nSpeakers \n  \n\n\n \nAndrew Astritis\nUnion CounselRaven Law \n\n\n \nDavid Jewitt\nArbitrator\, Mediator and Workplace Investigator \n\n\n \nMante Molepo\nLawyer and Governance professionalFounder and CEOMante Molepo Consulting \n\n\nCPD \nCPD\nLancaster House provides professional education programs that qualify for CPD credit for human resources professionals\, lawyers\, and paralegals across Canada.
