At Benard + Associates, we have developed amazing programs that engage staff, educate them on these important issues and give them the tools they need to communicate effectively and prevent issues from escalating.
In our experience most employers educate their staff on what harassment is and that it is unacceptable, but they do not teach them how to deal with simple conflict situations that can be resolved before things escalate into a serious situation, that will cost a great deal to manage and may result in significant consequences for those involved.

Benard + Associates was built on the philosophy that focusing on what we do well, and being the best at what we do, will set us apart from the rest. We have stuck to this philosophy and many years later we still focus on two key areas of specialty; Professional Regulation and Workplace Conflict.We have become the premiere regulatory investigation and mediation company in Canada. Our reputation as fair neutral and trusted partners with our clients is well established and something we cherish. We not only do the work of investigations, but we educate and coach investigators to constantly improve and grow their expertise in the field.
We have also become a highly sought-after company to provide fair and neutral investigation and mediation services in workplaces of all kinds. Our years of experience have taught us that investigation is not always the best solution to a problem. Of the several things we believe set us apart, one key factor is our expertise and ability to recognize, advise and shift the approach to one that will have a meaningful outcome that improves the situation for everyone involved. Our comprehensive investigation and mediation services combined with our education, coaching, and mentoring programs provide our clients with 360-degree solutions and ongoing support that cannot be matched.

Learn the skills for working through inner politics and misunderstandings leading to conflict, arguments, and disputes, and explore a balanced approach to dealing with conflict
This session will help team members find that “sweet spot” where they can productively use differences of opinion, resolve destructive conflict, and find common ground in the team setting.
The focus of this course is on preventing and enhancing awareness about the potential for a sudden and unanticipated attack as opposed to unrealistic physical skills that require extensive training to achieve and the pre-awareness of the existence of a weapon.
Conflict is a clash of interests, attitudes or ideas between individuals. Understanding the dynamics behind conflict and building effective communication skills are key factors to conflict resolution.
