"CONFLICT MANAGEMENT IN YOUR WORKPLACE ",
WFI in conjunction with York University, DCE .
Feb 7 - Mar 20, 2012. Tues eve's, Sundays, Toronto.
GROUP RATES, CUSTOM TRAINING, IN-HOUSE CLASSES
The top-down management of conflict in the workplace can be frustrating for everyone. Typically, conflict is addressed after things have gotten out of hand and the conflict is entrenched in the workplace. Your best employees have left and those embattled have dug in. Unresolved disputes weigh down your workplace’s productivity and the cost of conflict mounts. Individuals suffer but the biggest loser is the workplace itself.
The solution is to deal with workplace conflict before it escalates. Everyone in the workplace can be agents of conflict resolution with the right tool kit. This course, offered to individuals and to groups, is a guide to more efficiency in the workplace because conflict takes time but unresolved conflict takes more.
In the workplace, the broadest range of conflicts arises. There are daily interpersonal conflicts; important issues of workplace regulation, efficiency, productivity and safety; and issues of human rights. In this course, participants will explore the maze of statutes, rules, laws and conventions that offer conflict management options. Students will analyze the different models of dispute resolution and practice using various models and innovative methods to solve different kinds of problems. course description >>

The Madison Moment: North American Public Sector Collective Bargaining
Over the last year or so there have been over 700 attacks in the United States upon public sector collective bargaining. This alarming trend is also finding root in Canada with the elimination of collective bargaining rights for transit workers, the legislation back to work of Crown prosecutors and government attempts to impose wage restraints upon the public sector. This free symposium will explore this issue through a distinguished panel of speakers.
