Course Description

This two-day program will provide participants with competencies in collaborative negotiations and joint problem-solving, leading to greater confidence to engage in collective bargaining that builds relationships and achieves the best possible results for all parties. Participants will learn strategies for conflict de-escalation, including managing bias and emotions, and practice applying these skills through several different collective bargaining simulations. Emphasis is placed on building trust through open communications and leveraging opportunities for joint problem-solving throughout the administration of the collective agreement to achieve mutually beneficial bargaining outcomes for both employers and unions.
