Leading In A Unionized Workplace

DESCRIPTION

Our institutions are unionized workplaces. This leadership workshop has a post-secondary focus and provides practical guidance on how to address common people issues appropriately within the union-management context. Participants practice communication skills to set expectations, address workplace issues in a manner that leads to positive outcomes.

LEARNING OUTCOMES

This workshop uses discussion, tabletop scenarios and role play to:

  • Formulate positive approaches to common people issues
  • Prepare for difficult conversations
  • Build on your capacity to interpret the collective agreement
  • Anticipate and minimize conflict with the union representatives

There are no Leading In A Unionized Workplace workshops
