Overview of the Progressive Discipline Process

November 13, 2025 9:00 AM - 11:30 AM (PST)

Description

This workshop is recommended for people leaders, human resources, and labour relations practitioners seeking a refresher on progressive discipline's core principles and practices. Leaders can find managing employee performance daunting, especially when managing performance concerns. This workshop seeks to demystify handling both culpable and non-culpable behaviour in the workplace. During the workshop, participants will learn when to establish performance expectations and determine an appropriate corrective response. 

WORKSHOP GOALS 

Participants will learn how to apply the progressive discipline process effectively. 

LEARNING OUTCOMES 

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

• Explain the respective roles of union and employer representatives in the discipline process. 
• Describe key labour relations concepts such as the four employers' duties: to inquire, the duty to accommodate, the duty to investigate, and the duty of reasonableness. 
• Recognize and respond appropriately to common examples of non-culpable conduct. 
• Apply effective progressive discipline correctly in culpable situations.
