MANAGING
EMPLOYEES IN
A UNIONIZED
ENVIRONMENT
“Awesome program. I appreciated how
the presenter involved the attendees to
foster discussion and debate of differing
perspectives. A lot of information to absorb,
very useful.”
City of Grande Prairie
Proper training of Management in a unionized
environment is essential. There are strict guidelines and
protocols to follow. But for many managers, there are
more questions than answers.
If a task is not in an employee’s existing job description,
do they have the right to refuse completing the task? What
can you do when someone is treating sick days as an
entitlement, rather than a benefi t? What happens when
constructive criticism and / or coaching is interpreted
as targeted discipline, rather than helpful guidance? It
is unfortunate, but some employees think they can use
the backing of their union to take advantage of certain
privileges.
However, most progressive unions also want better
management and better processes with consistency and
fairness. Unfortunately, most employers leave it up to the
individual to learn by experience.
Our “Managing Employees in a Unionized
Environment” program will teach you how to succeed
and thrive in union based situations. In this program you
will not only learn what your rights are, but also how to
actively apply them in order to become a more confi dent,
respected, and effective leader.
