Session: Towards a National Prevention Stratgegy for Workplace Violence in Canada – Glenn French, Athony Pizzino
Workplace violence, although not epidemic, can no longer be ignored within the Canadian workplace – particularly within the service industries such as health, education and retail. Increasingly, employers and unions are voicing their concern over an escalating trend in workplace aggression and other forms of conduct that can jeopardize workplace health and safety. Legislators and the courts are now turning their attention to this troubling and complex issue as signaled by the introduction of regulations at the federal level and enhancements made to provincial occupational health and safety legislation throughout Canada.

10:45 am – 12:00
Session: Four Generations – Four Approaches to Work: Enhancing Training & Coaching for All
Organizations today face the challenge of creating high-performing environments that produce results, while maintaining a safe and healthy work environment for all employees. Your workplace is comprised of four generations (Traditionalist, Baby Boomer, Gen X and Gen Y). Each of these cohorts possesses unique identities that translate into different behaviors in the workplace. It is important for leaders and colleagues alike to be able to tap into the values and expectations of each generation in order to increase levels of engagement, team performance and health and safety.
