Workplace Fairness Upcoming Events

Course Details

Session 1 Understanding Workplace Culture,

Conflict & Health

In this session 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

 Session 2 The Process of Facilitating Workplace Health and Psychological Health & 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

Session 3 – Building the Business Case for Workplace Health and Psychological Health & Safety

The most significant barrier in the way of health and fairness in the workplace

is that it is still seen as a “nice to have”. In this session we will explore

how to make the case that psychological health and safety and fairness are

“must haves” for the ultimate success of the organization. We will workshop

business plans and strategies to sell health and fairness both internally and

externally.

Session 4 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.

Session 5 The Process of Workplace Restoration

This day will be focused on evaluative models for understanding workplace

structure. We will introduce the Psychological Health and Safety Standard

and explore its potential use as an evaluative model for workplace health.

We will also introduce WFI’s Testing Instrument for Fairness Systems and

its use to help evaluate the strength of conflict management systems. In the

afternoon we will explore methodologies for gaining organizational buy-in to

the use of these tools. We will consider power relationships in each subject

organization and strategize on how best to achieve commitment to change.

Session 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.
