Winning Strategies for Managing Difficult Personalities in the Workplace
Past Event
As labour relations specialists, how can you recognize difficult personalities in the workplace? What impact do their behaviours have, both on the work environment and on their organization? What to do when, for example, unreasonable employee complaints and appeals multiply to the point of crippling the systems in place? How does current jurisprudence limit what action organizations can take?
To enhance your understanding of such issues, the School and the Labour Relations Council have put together a panel of labour relations specialists, experts in personality disorders, and union representatives to suggest strategies and practices for better managing difficult personalities in the workplace.
The event's main topics of discussion:
- Characteristics of various types of difficult personalities in the workplace
- Ways of adapting to difficult personality types
- Impact of difficult personalities on the workplace and on organizations
- Strategies for managing cases of repeated complaints and appeals made by the same person
- Overview of relevant jurisprudence
