2025 WORKSHOPS

Progressive Discipline

DESCRIPTION

This workshop is recommended for people leaders and human resources or 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 how to establish performance expectations and determine an appropriate corrective response.

WORKSHOP GOAL

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 employer's duties: to inquire, duty to accommodate, duty to investigate and duty of reasonableness.
  • Recognize and respond appropriately to common examples of non-culpable conduct.
  • Apply effective progressive discipline correctly in culpable situations.
