Informal Conflict Resolution Sample Clauses

Informal Conflict Resolution. The informal conflict resolution process will not be utilized to investigate and resolve Human Rights Harassment. Any employee who believes they have a potential complaint of harassment should make their objection known to the alleged harasser and is encouraged to resolve the matter wherever possible on an informal basis. The employee may choose to ask for the help of their local manager or Union Representative to facilitate a meeting between the parties. In an environment of confidentiality, the manager and/or Union representative will outline the complaint procedure, the definition of harassment, and discuss various possible courses of action with the parties in order to resolve the matter quickly and appropriately. At any point the complainant, management or Unifor may decide to discontinue the informal process and escalate the matter to Stage 2. While the informal conflict resolution process will not assign formal responsibility for the conflict, management may need to address inappropriate behaviour on the part of individuals involved in the dispute, and warn that future incidents of inappropriate conduct may result in discipline and the more formal investigation process of Stage 2. Stage 1 resolutions should be completed within two weeks from the date of the initial complaint.

Informal Conflict Resolution. Informal conflict resolution is designed to provide a voluntary, flexible, confidential and informal process for the resolution of workplace problems. The Parties are committed to ensuring that effective informal conflict resolution mechanisms are in place and to encouraging their full use in good faith before formal grievance procedures are invoked. Informal conflict resolution is not a first step in the general grievance procedure or in the sexual harassment grievance procedure but is a stand-alone process. It is a valuable and resource-efficient means available to management, individual officials, or groups of officials confronted with the same workplace problems, to resolve these problems quickly and informally. For these reasons, it is flexible, applies to all types of workplace problems, is not bound by any time limits, no records of the proceedings are maintained and the process is confidential to the parties. The following informal conflict resolution options are available: - Third party assistance; - Facilitation; and - Mediation. An official may request the assistance of the Human Resources Development Department (HRD), a higher-level chief, the Staff Union, or an ILO official or former official to assist with the informal resolution through dialogue of a workplace problem. An official may request the services of a facilitator to assist in informal resolution through dialogue of any workplace problem. The role of the facilitator is to enable confidential dialogue between the parties to a workplace problem so that they can explore options for its informal resolution. All facilitation proceedings shall be confidential to the parties and no records of the proceedings shall be maintained. A pool of trained facilitators at Headquarters and in the field shall be drawn from ILO officials and appointed by the Mediator. A list of trained facilitators can be obtained from the Mediator’s Office. The work of a facilitator shall be considered official duties and officials who are facilitators shall be released to the extent necessary from their normal duties for this purpose.

Related to Informal Conflict Resolution

  • Conflict Resolution The Parties agree to resolve issues that may arise in the course of this partnership and shall act reasonably and in good faith in the event a conflict or disagreement should arise in the interpretation or implementation of the obligation, terms, and/or responsibilities of the Parties to this Agreement. Throughout the conflict resolution process it is important to balance the need to be responsive to the District’s instructional needs as well as the College’s responsibility to provide a quality dual credit program while also maintaining accreditation. Conflicts should be resolved at the lowest level possible with an understanding that, if no agreement is reached, there is a procedure for advancing the conflict through each Party’s organization. The key approach will be to maintain communications with early discussion sought on issues/conflicts and solutions summarized in writing after each discussion. In order to be collaborative, the College must be able to communicate with the administrators on campus in which the dual credit students/programs are present. Each Party shall designate an administrative liaison for the purpose of resolving concerns at both the campus (liaison must be Principal or other designated campus administrator) and College level (Director, Dual Credit Programs). If a resolution is not found at that initial level, the conflict resolution process shall move to a designated District level administrator (such as a District Director or Assistant Superintendent of Instruction) and a designated College level administrator (Director, Prospective Student Relations and Enrollment Management). If the conflict continues then the process shall proceed to the District Superintendent and the Vice Chancellor, Student Affairs of the College. If a resolution is not found through those initial levels, a request may be made that the matter be handled through the Parties’ respective legal counsel.

The location, form, frequency, duration, and conclusion of these discussions will be left to the discretion of the representatives. Upon agreement, the representatives may utilize other alternative Dispute Resolution procedures such as mediation to assist in the negotiations. Discussions and the correspondence among the representatives for purposes of settlement are exempt from discovery and production and will not be admissible in the arbitration described below or in any lawsuit without the concurrence of both Parties. Documents identified in or provided with such communications that were not prepared for purposes of the negotiations are not so exempted, and, if otherwise admissible, may be admitted in evidence in the arbitration or lawsuit.
