Webinaire de l’APEC le jeudi 9 juin 2016 : l’éthique au travail

Enquêtes organisationnelles  sur les mauvais comportements éthiques – Tactique de la terre brûlée ou reconstruction?

Les organisations n’aiment pas laver leur linge en public. Mais même si leur linge sale échappe aux regards, les dommages et les préjudices existent bel et bien. En fait, il arrive que les organisations ne saisissent pas suffisamment bien les nuances que comportent  les relations avec le personnel. Elles ne se rendent donc pas toujours compte lorsque certains comportements se détériorent et pourraient devenir matière à une plainte de harcèlement ou de discrimination.

Qu’est-ce que les gens devraient savoir au sujet de l’éthique au travail? Comment les normes éthiques d’une organisation devraient-elles être établies? Comment les comportements souhaitables devraient-ils être encouragés et modelés? Maître Kenda Murphy (Rubin Thomlinson s.r.l.) mettra en lumière les leçons apprises comme suite à deux situations particulières, soit un examen proactif des politiques et des processus en matière de harcèlement et de discrimination d’une organisation avant que ne surviennent des problèmes médiatiques et juridiques, et une enquête menée auprès d’une autre organisation où les lacunes et les faiblesses du système ont malheureusement retenu une attention démesurée de la part des médias et du public. Margot Cameron, une consultante en gestion du changement, nous entretiendra sur la façon d’évaluer les suggestions constructives pour favoriser le changement, d’obtenir l’assentiment de la gestion et de réussir à les mettre en œuvre. Le webinaire sera en anglais avec rétroaction bilingue.
