Remediation Workshops

Overview

After workplace concerns, conflict, or an investigation, teams may struggle with tension, uncertainty, and damaged working relationships. Addressing individual behavior is one part of the process. Teams also need guidance on how to communicate, work together, and put professional expectations into practice.

Peagram Consulting's Remediation Workshops provide a structured, facilitated space to address these needs. Led by Dr. Kortney Peagram, workshops guide participants through reflection, practical discussions, and activities focused on accountability, respectful communication, and rebuilding a functional working environment.

Workshops can complement individual remediation coaching or serve as a separate engagement. Each session is tailored to the team's circumstances, readiness, and organizational expectations. Before bringing participants together, we work with designated organizational contacts to clarify the purpose, assess whether a group setting is appropriate, and establish boundaries for the discussion.

Through guided prompts and scenario practice, participants explore how workplace behaviors affect others, what needs to change, and what respectful collaboration looks like moving forward. Discussions may address acknowledgment of harm, remorse, and the challenges of rebuilding trust. Participants are not expected to disclose personal experiences, accept an apology, or forgive a colleague.

The workshop culminates in a team social contract: a practical agreement outlining communication standards, professional boundaries, shared responsibilities, and ways to address concerns. Participants close by identifying specific commitments they can apply in their daily work.

What the workshop addresses

What participants leave with

The workshop is designed to give the team a shared understanding of professional expectations, practical language for difficult interactions, and a written social contract. Individual and team commitments translate the discussion into observable actions that managers can reinforce.

Format and investment

Remediation Workshops typically run four hours. The format and scope are determined by the team's needs and the complexity of the situation.

Pricing depends on group size, preparation needs, and the number of facilitators required. Contact Peagram Consulting for a consultation and customized proposal.

Frequently Asked Questions

Who are remediation workshops for?

These workshops are for teams that need structured support following workplace conflict, conduct concerns, strained relationships, or an investigation. They are appropriate when the organization has determined that facilitated group work can support a constructive next step.

How is a remediation workshop different from a general workplace training?

General training builds knowledge and skills around broad workplace expectations. A remediation workshop focuses on a team's identified needs, helping participants clarify what must change and establish practical agreements for working together.

How does the workshop differ from individual remediation coaching?

Individual coaching addresses a participant's specific behaviors, judgment, and accountability. A workshop addresses how the group communicates and collaborates. When used together, the two services can reinforce consistent expectations without sharing private coaching discussions.

Does everyone involved in a complaint need to attend together?

No. Participation and group composition are considered during planning. Bringing everyone together may not be appropriate, particularly when power differences, ongoing concerns, or the potential for additional harm could undermine the process. Separate sessions or individual support may be a better starting point.

Will participants discuss the details of an investigation?

The workshop is not a forum to retry allegations, debate findings, or ask employees to defend their experiences. Relevant themes may inform the design, but discussions focus on professional expectations, future conduct, and practical ways to work together.

Are participants expected to apologize or forgive?

No. Accountability may include acknowledging harm and understanding what a meaningful apology requires, but apologies and forgiveness are not forced. The goal is respectful, professional conduct. Employees can maintain boundaries while meeting workplace expectations.

What is a team social contract?

A team social contract is a written agreement describing how team members will communicate, collaborate, and address concerns. It may cover meeting behavior, feedback, boundaries, conflict, and follow-through. It supports the organization's policies and does not replace formal reporting procedures.

Are workshop discussions confidential?

Discussion boundaries and reporting expectations are explained before the session. Participants are asked to respect one another's privacy, but confidentiality cannot be guaranteed in a group setting. Agreed team commitments and relevant concerns may be shared with designated organizational contacts.

Can a workshop rebuild trust in one session?

A workshop can establish a foundation by clarifying expectations and creating shared commitments. Trust develops through consistent behavior over time. Leadership follow-through and reinforcement are essential to sustaining the work.

What role do managers and HR play?

Managers and HR help clarify the workshop's goals, provide relevant context, and identify organizational expectations. After the session, they reinforce agreed behaviors, respond to concerns, and support appropriate follow-up.

Can the workshop be combined with other Peagram Consulting services?

Yes. A remediation workshop can be paired with individual remediation coaching, the Respect and Professional Boundaries Program, or HR On-Call support. The combination depends on whether the organization needs individual behavior change, shared skill development, ongoing guidance, or all three.

How do we get started?

Begin with a consultation to discuss the team's circumstances, desired outcomes, and readiness for group work. Peagram Consulting will recommend a structure, clarify participation and reporting expectations, and provide a customized proposal.
