This workshop is designed to help FP&M supervisors understand what hostile and intimidating behavior is and how to engage university resources to resolve issues. In a two-hour, case-based workshop, participants will work through scenarios to identify when HIB is occurring (and when it isn’t) and understand what the role of a supervisor is when they hear about, witness, or experience incidents related to one or more of these behaviors.

Have you ever witnessed something that left you uneasy or concerned for another person at work, but you didn’t know how to step in and improve the situation — so you did nothing? You are not alone. It is common to feel unsure of what to do when we witness behavior that concerns us.

This interactive workshop will introduce you to important intervention skills for building healthy, inclusive and engaging workplaces. You will have the opportunity to practice multiple intervention options in real-life scenarios, and will leave equipped with options to interrupt and improve concerning workplace situations when they arise.

Why Should You Attend?

• • Learn skills that build your confidence and increase motivation to identify, intervene and interrupt behaviors that negatively impact the workplace.

• • Examine various options for effectively intervening and improving negative situations through the 4D’s of Stepping In framework.

• • Develop your ability to assess a situation and confidently select an effective intervention option for the situation.

Understanding the perspectives of others, building meaning, and creating human connections all stem from listening. Without strategies for active listening, how do you know if you are hearing your supervisor or coworker’s intended message? What information are you missing out on? In this course, dive deep into your patterns of thoughts, feelings, and behaviors to identify internal roadblocks to communication. Learn strategies to connect with others and stay in dialogue. This is a virtual course. You will receive a link 24 hours before the course in your email.
