Facilitating Repair in the Aftermath of Labour Relations Processes

DESCRIPTION

This 2-day workshop is recommended for people leaders, human resources, or labour relations practitioners.

Difficult people, situations, and interactions are pervasive within professional contexts, at times necessitating labour relations processes such as investigations and grievances. While these processes are vital for maintaining a safe and respectful workplace and institutional integrity, they frequently leave those involved feeling dissatisfied, hurt, and grappling with unresolved relational issues that persist in the workplace. To address these challenges, this comprehensive workshop equips participants with the essential skills to effectively support complainants, respondents, witnesses, and teams in the aftermath of investigations and grievances. This workshop focuses on restorative practices and strategies to repair relationships, reconcile outstanding issues, and foster healthy workspaces. 

WORKSHOP GOAL

This workshop aims to foster a culture of understanding and collaboration by transforming difficult situations into opportunities for growth and reconciliation within academic environments.

LEARNING OUTCOMES

By the end of the workshop, participants will be able to:

• Coach forward movement: Empower those involved to find clarity, calm, and confidence in re-engaging in the workplace and resolve outstanding issues.
• Facilitate discussions: Create safe spaces for open dialogue between complainants and respondents, enable the repair of relationships, and the resolution of issues.   
• Develop team charters: Guide teams to construct charters that realign their conduct to shared norms, thus preventing investigations and grievances and creating psychologically safe environments.
