Dealing with workplace issues
We are a respectful and collaborative workplace. All workplace issues and concerns should be taken seriously. As a manager or supervisor you have a responsibility to:
- lead by example and promote a respectful and collaborative workplace
- be familiar with and actively promote the Resolving Workplace Concerns or Conflict Procedure (PDF, 216KB) and Promoting a Respectful and Collaborative University Policy
- monitor the workplace for early identification and resolution of workplace concerns and conflict
- monitor the wellbeing of your staff for negative impacts on emotional or psychological health
- encourage staff members to use the self help pathway in the appendix of the procedure (PDF, 216KB)
- address less serious issues at the local level so they do not escalate
- make file notes of your involvement
- help your staff member escalate issues to your HR Business Partner (PDF, 36KB) if applicable
- treat all workplace concerns and conflicts seriously, fairly, impartially and confidentially
