Description
Overview
This seminar focuses on building conflict and dispute resolution skills in the employment/ labor arena, by utilizing various mechanisms including negotiation, mediation/conciliation and arbitration. The development of these skills will take place in the context of analyzing the necessary systems, processes and policies which may assist in the effective resolution of labor and employment conflicts. Negotiation and mediation exercises, role- plays, case studies, and a simulated labor arbitration will be utilized to build skills and facilitate a deeper understanding of these fundamentally important mechanisms. A round table discussion focusing on issues identified by participants will conclude the seminar. As workplaces are diverse, emphasis will be placed on the cross-cutting and essential employment conflict- and dispute resolution skills which will apply in different environments. Managers, supervisors, trade union officials and legal practitioners will benefit from this seminar.
