‹ Previous Month Next Month ›PHS 105: Respectful Workplace Foundation
Date: Wednesday Apr 28, 2021
Time: 8:00 am to 4:00 pm
Location: Online
This one-day program provides a foundation for how to facilitate a respectful workplace. Respectful workplace policies are often not enough. Creating a respectful environment requires a strategy and action plan that promotes civility, respect and how to resolve conflict when it occurs.
Risk of mental harm exists in the workplace when an employee or manager engage in misconduct behaviours that negatively impact another employee’s psychological or physical safety. The purpose of this course is to explore foundational considerations for how to reduce the risk for this kind of behavioural conduct and what to do move past them.
PHS 105 is approved for 10 CPD hours through CPHR-Alberta.
Certificate Program
Building on the successful delivery of the two-day Psychological Health and Safety Facilitator Certification program that was offered this past June, Alberta Health and Safety Association (AMHSA) and its strategic partner, Howatt HR, will be releasing five additional course offerings starting on November 23. These five new courses will enable participants to work towards a Psychological Health and Safety Facilitator’s Certificate.
AMHSA is also offering the opportunity for participants to register for selected individual courses that will result in a certificate of training upon completion for each course taken.
The goal of this program is to support organizations in developing practical workplace mental health strategies and the mental health competencies of their operational leaders. Upon completion of all courses, participants will be certified as a Psychological Health and Safety Facilitator. All courses may be completed within 24 months.
