Workplace education is a powerful tool to assist organizations to
become more inclusive and adjust to the ever increasing diversity
of the Canadian workforce. Mundy has developed and delivered workplace
diversity and human rights training for employers and unions for over
10 years and this is a core aspect of Working Animal Consulting Services
due to its focus on transformational and pro-active approaches to
managing workplace diversity. Working Animal Consulting Services offers
training programs for managers,
employees, human resources professionals,
and union representatives related to human
rights, equity and diversity
encompassing a wide range of topics such as religious diversity, disability,
age diversity, and even ethical issues such as how to manage conflicts
arising from personal relationships in the workplace. See the link
to Working Animal Human Rights and Equity Skills Training
Programme for a sample of the range of issues that might
be covered in sessions.
Employee consultations – including surveys
– are another pro-active device that can assist managers to understand
their workforce issues and develop a response. Working Animal Consulting
Services brings expertise in work-environment assessments
as well as Employment Equity Employment Systems Reviews.
These processes might include interviews with employees and managers,
surveys to gain numeric and anecdotal assessments from staff, focus
groups - or a combination of these processes. Recommended actions or
further processes are also an available service. The approach is negotiated
with the client and is flexible to the workplace situation and the client’s
requirements.
Policies and procedures assist organizations
to navigate complex workplace conflicts and issues. Working Animal Consulting
Services provides advice on and development
of policies, procedures and best practices related to a full range of
Human Rights, Equity and Diversity issues including human rights
and harassment, workplace violence, workplace accommodation of disability,
religion and pregnancy, and personal relationships
at work.
