Workplace Restoration
A workgroup, which had been the subject of rumors and informal comments for years, underwent a fact-finding exercise conducted by a third party. After the fact-finding exercise, a report was issued listing issues and recommendations for next steps, and the employees waited anxiously for changes. Although the leaders acted quickly on some short-term recommendations, there was a sense that something more was necessary to restore the working group's unity.
In cases where there has been prolonged conflict, allegations of bullying and harassment, investigations, terminations, or other disruptive matters, workplace restoration services are suitable. These services may include group exercises, presentations, or training programs to realign, restore, reset, or reboot the team, as well as mediation between parties and one-on-one coaching to get the team back on track.
Workplace Restoration
What is a workplace restoration?
Workplace restoration refers to a set of actions aimed at reinstating positive working relationships and a healthy work environment, often in response to stressful incidents like workplace conflict or harassment involving one or more employees. The restoration process involves different interventions such as facilitated conflict resolution meetings, training sessions, and individual coaching. The ultimate goal is to enable employees to communicate respectfully, establish trust within the team, share a common purpose, and foster a supportive and healthy workplace culture.
When do I need a workplace restoration?
In what circumstances would a workplace restoration be necessary? A disruptive event(s) affecting a group of employees can have a significant impact on their commitment, productivity, workplace culture, and the organization's overall success. Therefore, it's important to understand the underlying issues and desired outcomes before embarking on a workplace restoration, which may involve multiple disciplines. If the restoration is focused on an underperforming team, the interventions will likely address team dynamics, communication, and workflow through training and coaching based on workplace assessments. However, if the group has experienced more serious challenges like workplace harassment, violence, prolonged conflict or bullying, incivility, or disciplinary issues, Noël & Co. can provide various services like facilitated conflict resolution meetings, mediation sessions, respectful workplace training sessions, emotional intelligence training, and one-on-one coaching to cater to the specific needs of the organization.
What type of workplace restoration services are required?
Following fact-finding and investigations, restoration services are typically provided to re-engage employees and improve the workplace. A list of findings (and recommendations, if requested) serves as the basis to create a roadmap for restoring the workplace. These services may include facilitated conflict resolution and mediation, training programs, communication strategies, internal policy design, and risk assessment.
