  An ADRIA Professional Development Event 

  
  

  Restoring the Workplace After an Inconclusive  Harassment Investigation

  Positive relationships with others at work are an essential part of one’s job and career.  When there is a rupture in work relationships – such as those caused by a harassment investigation – “Employee-Centered Resolution” processes can be used to supportively coach employees to regain their footing after conflict.

  Employee-Centered Resolution may help employees present their views, think about what they are saying, what is being said by the other, and to make their own decisions on how to understand the situation and their options.  Employee Centered Resolution processes can also become an integral step in reengaging and reintegrating employees after a harassment investigation.

  LEARNING OBJECTIVES

  Through lecture, case study discussions, role-plays, and individual exercises, participants in this session will:

  • Be able to compare and contrast the problem-solving mediation approach to that of the “Employee-Centered Resolution” process
  • Practice interventions associated with the “Employee-Centered Resolution” process
  • Learn skills needed to follow the parties lead, amplify conversations, and allow the parties to decide
  • Learn about the link between workplace- strained relationships and psychological distress
  • Appreciate that bystanders and witnesses are vulnerable to negative responses and even illness when working in a context where there are abusive or perceived abusive interactions

  BACKGROUND

  Employee-Centered Resolution processes are based in self-determination theory (SDT) – a framework that reasons how an individual’s psychological needs for autonomy, competence, and relatedness – correlates positively to job satisfaction, better health and increased productivity (Gomez-Baya & Lucia-Casademunt, 2018).  It also highlights the importance of work relations that are friendly and supportive.

  Strained relations are inconsistent with productive work, and they also impact employee feelings toward other co-workers and the organization as a whole. Extreme examples of strained workplace relationships  often include allegations of abusive interactions such as harassment, yelling and bullying, as well as physical and sexual advances (Trépanier, Fernet & Austin, 2013). Those who target other employees, employees on the receiving end, or who perceive they are being treated poorly experience poor workplace health. The repercussions for the employees involved, as well as the organization, are significant and include lost time, decreased productivity, and employee turnover (Leiter, Frizzell, Harvie, & Churchill, 2001).

  WHO SHOULD ATTEND THIS TRAINING:

  • Mediators
  • HR professionals, Managers, Directors
  • Organizational (OD) consultants
  • EAP Personnel

  Conflict management coaching, also known as conflict coaching, is a specialized niche in the field of coaching and conflict management.  It is a one-on-one technique, in which a trained coach assists people to effectively manage specific disputes or prevent unnecessary ones. Conflict management coaching also helps clients to strengthen their competence to more effectively engage in conflict.

  This specialized coaching process has wide application in organizational, family and other contexts - for coaching people to independently manage their disputes, to more effectively engage in challenging communications, and to participate with more confidence in mediation or other ADR processes.
  

  The outcomes of this workshop are that participants will gain:

  • the theory, principles and methods specific to the CINERGY® model of conflict management coaching;
  • an introduction to and basic working knowledge of conflict management coaching using the CINERGY® model;
  • an understanding of the types of skills required to provide conflict management coaching;
  • experience of the coaching model as a coach, ‘client’ and observer;
  • knowledge of the applications of this technique; and
  • suggested documents and information about the logistics of conflict management coaching.
