The WFA Certification seminars provided me a safe and educational environment that was thought provoking and reflective. I walked away with new assessment tools, gained and refined practical skills and was provided with great reference material. The interactive workshop and networking with professionals from HR, Unions, ADR, non-profits and businesses provided insight into the various levels of conflicts within the workplace and different communities…I am excited to apply my learning and motivated to be a part of the progressive proactive change in my workplace environment for the next century.”

SESSIONS #1 AND #2 – THE ELEMENTS OF WORKPLACE RESTORATION
These sessions will explore the many different options and
models available to practitioners of workplace restoration. We
will discuss benefits and challenges with the use of these options
and explore their value in participants’ subject workplaces.
SESSIONS #3 AND #4 – THE PROCESS OF WORKPLACE RESTORATION

garnered great success in effecting culture change and
transformation in our clients’ workplaces. We explore each phase
throughout the day with the use of real life scenarios and
roleplays.
SESSIONS #5 AND #6 – WORKPLACE RESTORATION IN ACTION
Here we share our extensive research into Workplace
Restorations and show how the 5 phase model works in different
circumstances. We also apply the model to participants subject
workplaces for the purposes of experiential learning.
We will also provide extensive workshopping and advice on
running the Workplace Restoration online. We will be considering
how to build trust, rapport and momentum without live contact.
We will also explore challenges with client access to technology.

SESSIONS #7 AND #8 – UNDERSTANDING WORKPLACE HEALTH
Building on the first three days we introduce a model that we use
to assess the cultural and organizational health of a workplace.
This model contains 6 separate checklists that help:
• Identify workplace culture
•Identify sources of workplace conflict
• Identify the prevailing conflict management systems in place
• Evaluate the systems
• Propose change and determine the effect of that change on
workplace culture and health
SESSIONS #9 AND #10 – FACILITATING WORKPLACE HEALTH AND PSYCHOLOGICAL HEALTH AND SAFETY
In accordance with the extensive work of our friend and
colleague, Dr. Martin Shain – co-author of the Psychological
Health and Safety Standard, we explore a process that we use to
engage workplace participants in the success of a Workplace
Health Assessment. We explore the principle of “client-centered
process design” as we discuss the challenges associated with
chartering a health assessment team and delivering an
assessment process. This is seen as a crucial part of an ongoing
Workplace Restoration.
Here we will also explore the unique challenges associated with
performing such assessments exclusively online. We will be
considering how to build trust, rapport and momentum without
live contact. We will also explore challenges with client access to
technology. We will be exploring the use of cell phones as a tool
for online restoration. Finally we will explore the extensive
advantages of the online format including enhanced scheduling
options an the extensive use of survey technology.

Effective conflict resolvers are not born – they need training and practice. In this technological age, people often find it difficult to communicate face to face and there exists the very real possibility for miscommunication and conflict. Build your skills as an effective conflict resolver and communicator. Learn to recognize conflict patterns, what triggers and escalates conflict in others, strategies to reduce defensiveness, how to communicate in a direct manner and provide feedback constructively.
These skills will help you work more productively and effectively with clients, colleagues and supervisors. Successful collaboration helps you and the other party find creative solutions that will meet both your needs. See Course Outline.
