program raises the awareness of managers and employees regarding employee relations situations, allowing us to be more consultative when these situations arise. This program has become a staple of our curriculum of programs offered to managers and employees. The manager version is more legal as it emphasizes the manager's role as an agent of the organization. The non-manager version stresses more the importance of professionalism and respect. Since we are part of a global organization that is diverse by culture, ethnicity, and age, the program's message resonates with our employee population.
In the "Common Decency" sessions, interactive video vignettes and customized case studies are used to generate discussion around what can be tricky employee relations issues. In one module, participants watch a scene involving a manager who is told about an allegation of a third party harassment incident. This manager decides not to do anything because the alleged harasser is not in his department. The class then works in small groups and takes on the role of the manager in the scene. Each group is given a packet of action step cards that they must prioritize. Our trainers then debrief the exercise and discuss the process should a situation like this arise at our organization.
Our managers and employees have consistently rated the program very highly as it supports our mission to provide a top flight work environment for everyone.
We truly believe that our employees are our most important asset and we strive to ensure that they feel treated fairly and respectfully.
