DELAYED: Alternatives to Harassment Investigations - an early resolution approach 

with Roger Beaudry - this short course will be offered in Halifax and registration information will be posted soon.

TRoger Beaudry of APTUS Solutions, Ottawa. Roger is an investigator but also a mediator who markets early resolution opportunites to organizations as a less painful way to resolve the issues raised by a colleague.

Roger lectures regularly on negotiation, mediation, investigation and arbitration and has been involved in designing ADR training courses, training mediators and providing negotiation training through various universities and organisations in various countries. In Canada, he has done this mainly in association with the University of Windsor and the University of Ottawa law schools.

Anyone who has ever had experience in the administration or investigation of harassment complaints knows the cost in emotional currency that the harassment process invokes.  Plan to attend this teleconference to learn the Roger’s quick and simple steps to his “Facilitated Conversation” model specifically designed to defuse harassment situations.

Following this free workshop, in May we’ll be offering an indepth workshop in Roger’s Alternative Harassment Resolution Model.  This offer is extended to our professional friends at ICF Atlantic, as well as the HR Associations of all four Atlantic provinces.

REGISTRATION will open soon.

   IMPORTANT NOTICE ABOUT APPLICATIONS FOR DESIGNATIONS

FEES for Processing Designations Applications

At the May 30 2013 regular meeting of the Board of Directors, the Board reviewed its work with applications for designations. The Board found that the workload is becoming large for the volunteers who do assessment (there have been 16 applications started since September 2012). The process now requires administrative support to manage the applications and the committees now have costs associated with their meetings. The Board has polled other affiliates and learned that Ontario requires a $500 fee to process applications for Chartered Designations and $200 for Qualified Designations. Saskatchewan and Manitoba charge a fee of $200 for all applications. The Board has approved the following fee structure to be implemented for new applications for designations received from July 1, 2013 onwards:

Application for Chartered Arbitrator or Mediator  $200 plus HST processing fee will apply

Application for Qualified Arbitrator or Mediator    $100 plus HST processing fee will apply
