As the 2014 Winter Olympics came to a close, it was a great opportunity to reflect on how the Canadian Olympic experience can relate to the workplace.
Olympians use training plans and visualization techniques, in an effort to control the great pressure and picture exactly how they want to carry out a race. They train for years for their one big moment. The repetition and preparation enables Olympians to overcome any obstacles they may face, and more importantly, to anticipate the unexpected. When faced with adversity, the well-trained Olympian does not panic, as they have practiced their routine thousands of times before.
As employment lawyers and HR experts, our ultimate goal is to ensure that our clients, both employers and employees, are as well-trained as Olympians.
Training for employers means following a specific path in the workplace. For employers, it is important to be prepared to respond to any workplace incident and have an action plan in place to ensure the best response possible.
Training for employees means not panicking and keeping perspective. For employees, it is important to be well-equipped when an issue arises with an employer and have the best tools available to handle different workplace situations.
