Situational Analysis and Work Climate Diagnostic

Our team is having a hard time, and you want to prevent the deteriorating climate from culminating in harassment complaints? You want to know what the current issues within your organization are and explore possible solutions?  

The Relais Expert-Conseil team can conduct situational analyses, employee surveys, and evaluations and diagnoses of a workplace environment. This approach allows us to assess the situation, identify the underlying issues causing difficulties within the work teams, and provide recommendations to improve the working climate.

As the organizational climate is shaped by how employees perceive their work environment, the Relais Expert-Conseil's process allows employees to express themselves on various aspects of the organizational climate within their team.  

These aspects include the work environment, leadership and management practices, communication, collaboration, and organizational values. After gathering this feedback, our consultants make recommendations and propose concrete and mobilizing solutions to improve the workplace environment.

Prevention of Harassment, Discrimination and/or Violence in the Workplace

We perform sophisticated work climate diagnostics, identify organizational and human risk factors, and make strategic recommendations to address inadequacies and issues related to the workplace environment, including those caused by toxic individuals.

Team Building Activities and Workplace Facilitation

A strong and united team is essential for a healthy and enjoyable workplace. However, maintaining a positive team climate can be a significant challenge for managers, especially in an environment where the pressure to perform is often inherent. Work teams typically consist of individuals with very different personalities. Therefore, work teams are not immune to tensions, discomforts and rivalries that will put them to the test.

Relais Expert-Conseil offers team-building and workplace facilitation activities tailored to our clients' specific needs and objectives. The objective is to allow organizations to resolve conflicts within teams or between individuals, engage their staff and develop preventive strategies to maintain a positive working environment.

Leading Workshops and Committees

Would you like to hold a brainstorming or design thinking workshop with your team but don't know where to begin? Would you like assistance in facilitating the meetings of a new working committee? Or are you interested in having an external resource to help you run your management committee?

Relais Expert-Conseil's team of consultants can use their knowledge, know-how and interpersonal skills in facilitation techniques and collaborative approaches. They can support you during the development and facilitation stages of workshops or meetings with your team, with a focus on collective intelligence.

Strategic Planning Sessions

To remain competitive in an ever-changing environment, every organization must develop medium- and long-term strategies and action plans to achieve its objectives and follow strategic directions aligned with its vision, mission and values.

Relais Expert-Conseil uses a collaborative and participative approach to accompany your organization's management team through each stage of your strategic planning process, from the analysis of your company and its internal and external environment to the communication, implementation and monitoring of your action plans.

Crisis Management

In addition to the crisis management offered as part of the Employee and Family Assistance Program (EFAP), Relais Expert-Conseil provides support for managers facing complex emergency situations, such as the suicide of a colleague, workplace accidents, incidents of workplace violence, layoffs or plant closures, etc. In such situations, support from an external resource with the appropriate crisis management expertise can be highly beneficial.

Relais Expert-Conseil will ensure that concerns and questions of the organization’s managers are addressed quickly and that their needs are clearly identified and understood to ensure they are kept informed and equipped to understand the crisis and its stages so that they can provide support at the various phases of crisis management.

Relais Expert-Conseil provides prompt assistance from professionals experienced in dealing with emergencies and risk situations. The support provided to managers and employees can take one of the following forms:

As communication is often the key to bringing employees to embrace change, our team of consultants will guide you in developing an effective change management strategy.
