Assignment - Respectful Workplace

Purpose

The purpose of this assignment is for learners to apply an effective management strategy that works within the bounds of a collective agreement and applies to the laws pertaining to labour relations in the workplace. It is also supportive of a healthy union-management relationship and learners are provided with the opportunity to use key term expressions pertaining to labour relations.

How to Proceed

This assignment focuses on the Workplace Safety & Health Act and the duty of the employer to provide a psychologically safe work environment. This employers' obligation is also often reflected on the collective agreement language. As Labour Relations practitioners or in a supervisory capacity, you will be presented with respectful workplace/alleged harassment issues. These issues will need to be investigated and a determination made as to whether the alleged behavior violated the organization's policies and/or the collective agreement.

1. Obtain a copy of your work's Respectful Workplace Policy or from any other source that is publicly available. The policies of major companies can be found publicly on their corporate websites. Make sure to include proper reference to where the policy was retrieved from.

2. Read Case Study 2.

3. Ensure you keep detailed notes on the main issues and different incumbents involved in the case.

4. Write a report to management. Your report should be as concise as possible while providing the pertinent information you feel is required to support your position. Your report should be between 500-750 words and include:

a A brief overview of the complaint and alleged inappropriate behavior.
b. Your strategy for resolving the issue.
c. Your conclusion based on the balance of probabilities whether the alleged infraction violated your company policy with accompanying
rationale.
d. A copy of the Respectful Workplace Policy referenced. This document does not count towards the word count of your report.
e. A list of references to any resource that you used to write your report (including the textbook).
