The last year was tough on everyone. We have experienced increased stress as we continually adjust to a different way of living.

Organizations have had to quickly adapt operations and work-related processes to meet constantly changing government guidelines,

while still carrying out their business functions. These changes have resulted in a new way of working that comes with its own challenges.

How we interact with and understand others has changed and transformed our working relationships, resulting in misinterpreted communication,

unclear expectations, and more workplace conflict.

Leaders are spending more time than ever managing workplace conflict arising from the pandemic. This webinar will help employers and HR

professionals understand the importance of recognizing sources of conflict in their organization and improve employee engagement. We’ll look at

how these new challenges not only fuel conflict but affect how individuals respond to conflict, and we will help you address workplace conflict,

bearing in mind that each situation is unique and there is no approach works for all scenarios.

Handling difficult interactions on the phone is a challenging task, especially if the caller is in a heightened state of emotion. For many, the ability to navigate difficult phone conversations with respect and professionalism is an essential workplace skill. This webinar is designed to provide practical strategies for dealing with clients and customers over the phone who are in a heightened emotional state. Participants will learn over-the-phone techniques for de-escalating anger, resolving conflict, and communicating effectively.

This is a live virtual event using Zoom, an online meeting platform. Please check system requirements prior to registering.

Leading through conflict is an essential leadership skill. When leaders fail to respond quickly and effectively to conflict, the people they lead suffer and workplace performance plummets.

Participants will learn to use conflict analysis tools to understand complex interpersonal dynamics and team tension which will help them make informed choices for where and when to intervene in a conflict.

Critical incidents are situations that occur outside of our normal frame of reference and challenge us to understand and cope with what has happened. Critical Incident Group Debriefing (CIGD) is a short-term group intervention process that focuses on an immediate event. CIGD is one of several methods that may be utilized to lessen the likelihood of people experiencing symptoms of trauma and stress after a critical incident. This group debriefing process provides a place for participants to talk and share experiences, and for the facilitator to teach and provide information about the impact of critical incidents. While participants of this webinar will learn about facilitating a group debriefing, they will also learn how to discern when CIGD is appropriate for a group and when it might not be a suitable intervention.

One of the most difficult and often overlooked aspects of moving into a supervisory or management position is developing the skills necessary to truly manage people. Without intentional training, many new managers are left to figure things out on their own – for better or worse. Like all skills, effective management and supervisory skills must be learned. This webinar presents the crucial skills for managing employment relationships from beginning to end, with particular focus on hiring and performance management. Viewers will also consider how their communication and personal approach to management affects the people they lead.

This workshop provides an opportunity for leaders to fine-tune their leadership philosophy, and focus in on parts of their own leadership that need further development.

When employees are not actively engaged at work, not only do they suffer – the organization does as well. Workplaces with high levels of engagement have employees that are committed and feel a connection to the organization. Engaged employees are willing to use discretionary time, brainpower, and effort beyond what is expected of them. This webinar explores how employee engagement occurs more readily when employees are respected and cared for, when they do tasks that bring them satisfaction, and when they work in an organization that makes a difference. Participants will learn unique insights for increasing engagement and be challenged to think critically about their approach to employee engagement.

One of today’s most important strategic processes for employers, regardless of size, is employee onboarding. For some companies, it’s about giving a new hire the tools needed to become a productive member of the team. For others, onboarding is the last stage of the recruitment process and the first step toward employee retention and integration with the company’s culture. 

The core feelings of new employees toward the organizations they choose to join often take shape in the first days and months on the job.

This session will look at the bottom-line to onboarding. And why this critical window of time is too important to leave to chance

By adopting the practices discussed, participants will take away:

COVID-19 forced many employers to make temporary, and even permanent, changes to the terms of employees’ employment, from scheduling and hours, to pay, to temporary layoff and even employment termination. Now these changes are being tested by judges and arbitrators. Does violating COVID-19 safety policies constitute cause for dismissal? Is a temporary layoff due to COVID-19 a constructive dismissal? What’s the impact of the pandemic on reasonable notice periods?

Join McInnes Cooper Labour & Employment Lawyer Alex Warshick and Litigation Lawyer Andrew Kinley for an invitation-only virtual roundtable conversation, led by your questions, about five key learnings that employers, forced by COVID-19 to change employees’ terms of employment, can glean from court and arbitration decisions so far.

Experiences that live within the workday – empowering people to learn by doing – is a shift in thinking when it comes to improving employee mental health and safety. Where the traditional model has been more lecture-based, taking employees away from their work for several hours and lacks continuity, this evolved approach considers that people learn better through practice. Studies have shown that lecture-based training, or even training in the form of reading materials, is a passive learning style where only 5-10% of information is retained after twenty-four hours. On the opposite end, learning by doing sees retention jump up to 75% after twenty-four hours. This session, led by Dr. Ryan Todd, CEO of the mental health tech company headversity, talks about how SkillTech is offering employees utility and on the job, real-time training for mental health, and why employers need to know about it.

• the relevant legislation
• the specific requirements that you must meet 
• the risks of non-compliance

As COVID-19 continues, many workplaces have morphed from remote work arrangements into hybrid arrangements for many employees. By necessity, these models were often haphazard. As we enter the “living with COVID” phase, the time is right for employers to consider, with intent, a “hybrid” workplace and its impacts. How will you satisfy your statutory obligations in a remote setting? Do you need special workplace policies? What are some key contractual terms to address?
