As VR professionals we must be able to exercise effective decision-making skills by working through real-life ethical dilemmas.
VR professionals must develop skills to balance their roles as human service workers and actors in a legal framework and public policy system. Without specialized training, it can be difficult to understand one's “legal” roles, responsibilities and obligations.
This session will assist you with developing the requisite skills for applying ethical and legal decision-making to the kinds of situations you may encounter within your practice.

Five Generations…
One Workplace…
The First Time EVER!
Can it really work?
​
Managing conflict in a multi-generational environment can be challenging, but also rewarding. Different generations may have different perspectives, experiences, values and goals that can lead to misunderstandings or disagreements. However, they can also learn from each other and benefit from the diversity of ideas and skills.
A lack of understanding on how to manage a multi-generational workplace can have detrimental effects on communication and working relationships and ultimately undermine services. These differences give rise to workplace conflict today.
