with Heather Peters, Senior Consultant & HR Coach, Knightsbridge Robertson Surette.

All leaders and their teams struggle with having the ‘difficult’ conversations in a timely and effective manner. These conversations are never easy but often critical to the development of the individual and the team. Having these difficult conversations effectively and doing appropriate follow up can help increase employee engagement and minimize conflict, essentially ‘nipping conflict in the bud’. Sadly however, difficult situations can lead to harassment, bullying and violence in the workplace therefore we will also discuss some basic protocols and best practice to ensure any incidents are dealt with effectively, respecting both parties and hopefully not escalating to a formal investigation.

The goal of this session is to give participants strategies and tips to master these difficult conversations through feedback, listening and asking the right questions and how to deal once elevated due to bullying, harassment and violence.

SPACE STILL AVAILABLE FOR
ST. JOHN'S WORKSHOP


St. John's - Memorial University
Room, ED2030B, McCann Centre,  Education Building

 

Why is this workshop important?

It is really important that town staff and elected officials in charge of making decisions about drinking water in their town know how to use the water resources portal (an online tool). The water resources portal is where all important drinking water reports for your town are stored. There will be a tutorial about this at the workshop. There will also be lively discussion in the afternoon, with provincial officials present, where we can all talk about what we need to move forward with solutions on the local, regional and provincial level. If you have any questions at all call or e-mail Sarah Minnes: telephone: 709-630-0287 or email: water@municipalnl.ca
 

Who should come? 

There are a few new provincial initiatives underway and we will explain how town clerks, councillors and mayors will play a role.
