Designing the Follow-Up Schedule

      Scheduling a meeting each day during the first week

      Scheduling a meeting every two weeks for the first three months, and monthly thereafter

Section Six: Workplace Health

In this section, we discuss your role in helping maintain a healthy workplace and areas of training you may want to explore.

Understanding your Role and Responsibilities

Your role and responsibilities in maintaining a healthy workplace is dictated by the different regulations and legislations that are in effect in territory or state that you operate. It is important that you understand the different legal aspects and get the necessary training required under these current legislation and codes.

Understanding Local and Industry Specific Rules

Specific industries have special rules, and these can differ from one area to another. Be sure to speak with experts in your field and get the information you require.

Section Seven: Workplace Bullying, Harassment, and Violence

Almost half of all workers in Canada, the United States, and Britain have been bullied at work. In this section we discuss workplace bullying, harassment, and violence.

Incidents may manifest as:

      Physical: Attacks, threats, or unwanted sexual advances.

      Verbal: Offensive or critical jokes, gossip, threats, or criticism.

      Written: Offending notes, email, text messages, and/or letters.

Cost to the Organization

We will also discuss the negative effects of conflicts on the organization which can extend to the people who work for the organization. Costs can include job loss, challenges in their personal life and career.

The Manager’s Role

The manager’s role includes providing staff with the tools to report issues and how to deal with issues when these arise. This can be done by:

This should include policies regarding harassment, bullying, and violence. Concerns with your obligations should be addressed to local health and safety associations.

This section explores the different feedback models and some ways to make your feedback effective and encouraging.

Feedback Model

Before giving feedback to an employee, consider the environment and timing. Providing negative feedback in front of their colleagues is unprofessional and can damage the reputation of an employee.

Types of Feedback

Feedback can come in several forms. Informal feedback can be done by giving a small reward. Formal feedback, on the other hand, is provided for employees who meet certain benchmarks.

The Feedback Sandwich

      Make a positive comment

      Offer critique or suggestions for improvement

      Make an overall positive comment

Encouraging Growth and Development

Providing meaningful feedback is a learned skill and can be improved with practice. Feedback can be used to encourage growth and development.

Section Ten: Terminating Employees

In part of the course, we discuss the difficult task of firing an employee. When modifying an employee’s behavior is unable to get the desired results, then termination is the next logical step.

Documenting Events

Terminating employees can be easy in cases of clear and serious misconduct or breach of contract. When considering terminating an employee, below are a few things to remember:

      Check with the human resource department or supervisor

      Make sure all documents are in order

Making the Decision

There is a lot of thought that goes when making the actual decision to terminate someone. Part is emotion and part logical. Here are a few questions to ask to determine if you are making the right decision:

      Am I being hard on this person unnecessarily?

      How serious were the infractions or performance issues that led to this?

      What are the implications of releasing this employee in terms of backlash to the company, my work unit, and my professional integrity?

      What are the implications to me as a manager, to the results of this department, and to the morale of people working here, to keep this problem employee?

Communicating the Decision

Section Eleven: Wrapping Up

Section Six: Workplace Health

In this section, we discuss your role in helping maintain a healthy workplace and areas of training you may want to explore.

Understanding your Role and Responsibilities

Your role and responsibilities in maintaining a healthy workplace is dictated by the different regulations and legislations that are in effect in territory or state that you operate. It is important that you understand the different legal aspects and get the necessary training required under these current legislation and codes.

Understanding Local and Industry Specific Rules

Specific industries have special rules, and these can differ from one area to another. Be sure to speak with experts in your field and get the information you require.

Section Seven: Workplace Bullying, Harassment, and Violence

Almost half of all workers in Canada, the United States, and Britain have been bullied at work. In this section we discuss workplace bullying, harassment, and violence.

Incidents may manifest as:

      Physical: Attacks, threats, or unwanted sexual advances.

      Verbal: Offensive or critical jokes, gossip, threats, or criticism.

      Written: Offending notes, email, text messages, and/or letters.

Cost to the Organization

We will also discuss the negative effects of conflicts on the organization which can extend to the people who work for the organization. Costs can include job loss, challenges in their personal life and career.

The Manager’s Role

The manager’s role includes providing staff with the tools to report issues and how to deal with issues when these arise. This can be done by:

      Provide the staff with the ability and authority to manage conflict

      Provide strong leadership

      Conduct yourself with consideration and respect

      Model principles and standards of diversity

      Recognize staff for contributions

      Deal with inappropriate behaviors in a timely fashion

During a crisis, follow the POLITE plan

We will also discuss how to use the polite plan in handling a crisis. This includes listening empathically and avoiding remarks that can be considered condescending. Interrupting an escalating situation helps relieve tension and move this to a problem solving situation.

An Employer’s Responsibility

Your responsibility includes providing a safe working environment and providing the training and tools that allow people to work safely. This should include policies regarding harassment, bullying, and violence. Concerns with your obligations should be addressed to local health and safety associations.

Section Nine: Providing Feedback to Employees

This section explores the different feedback models and some ways to make your feedback effective and encouraging.

Feedback Model

Before giving feedback to an employee, consider the environment and timing. Providing negative feedback in front of their colleagues is unprofessional and can damage the reputation of an employee.

Types of Feedback

Feedback can come in several forms. Informal feedback can be done by giving a small reward. Formal feedback, on the other hand, is provided for employees who meet certain benchmarks.

The Feedback Sandwich

      Make a positive comment

      Offer critique or suggestions for improvement

      Make an overall positive comment

Encouraging Growth and Development

Providing meaningful feedback is a learned skill and can be improved with practice. Feedback can be used to encourage growth and development.

Section Ten: Terminating Employees

In part of the course, we discuss the difficult task of firing an employee. When modifying an employee’s behavior is unable to get the desired results, then termination is the next logical step.

Documenting Events

Terminating employees can be easy in cases of clear and serious misconduct or breach of contract. When considering terminating an employee, below are a few things to remember:

      Check with the human resource department or supervisor

      Make sure all documents are in order

Making the Decision

There is a lot of thought that goes when making the actual decision to terminate someone. Part is emotion and part logical. Here are a few questions to ask to determine if you are making the right decision:

      Am I being hard on this person unnecessarily?

      How serious were the infractions or performance issues that led to this?

      What are the implications of releasing this employee in terms of backlash to the company, my work unit, and my professional integrity?

      What are the implications to me as a manager, to the results of this department, and to the morale of people working here, to keep this problem employee?

Communicating the Decision

Section Eleven: Wrapping Up
