Organizational/ Administrative Review

There are a number of possible reasons why an organization might wish to undertake an administrative review. They include:

• To review their compliance with the new requirements of the Canada Labour Code (Bill C65)
• To assess whether there is systemic racism, sexism, abuse of authority, etc. within the organization and to make recommendations for a more inclusive work environment
• To address ongoing conflict that prevents an organization from developing positive working relationships and operating effectively as possible

An Organizational Review is generally initiated by management and is not based on a specific complaint or a specific person, A manager may request a review in order to determine what the issues are and to seek recommendations for change for a more effective and respectful organization.

In an Organizational Review, several factors will be considered. One piece is interviewing staff from various occupations and levels to identify concerns. TLS Associates will review existing policies and procedures related to the issues that arise.

The process is designed specifically with the organization’s needs and issues in mind, and therefore the process may differ with each review. However, the goal is always to improve working relationships and procedures within the organization.

A final report will provide an overview of the organization, an examination of the issues which cause conflict or concern and recommendations for moving forward towards a respectful and equitable workplace.
