Course Overview
This two day workshop is designed for managers and supervisors who are currently responsible for administering collective agreements. A portion of our time will be spent reviewing the fundamentals of these activities and participating in discussions to improve skills in conducting grievance meetings. More substantial focus will be given to promoting successful relationships between union and management representatives at the workplace level. We will explore your views, research and practical examples of how dysfunctional or adversarial relationships can be dramatically improved for the better. Suitable for HR professionals and managers who hold direct responsiblity for managing labour relations, seek an opportunity to update or enhance their technical knowledge, and wish to influence the state of union-management dynamics in their workplace.
