CHCLEG001 - Scenario: Co- Worker Posting On Social Media
Posted: Mon Feb 06, 2017 2:54 pm
Having trouble with this question. I've been told that I should consider telling my director straight away rather than talking to my co-worker first. Surely I should speak with her first and give her a chance to acknowledge her inappropriate posts and come up with a solution? Wouldn't going straight to my supervisor be tantamount to 'tattle-taling' about my co-worker behind her back? In conflict resolution you are meant to speak to a person first, and if the situation isn't resolved, then you bring someone else into it.
Case Study 2
Q. You are friends with a co-worker on a social networking site. Over the past few weeks you have noticed posts on her page about other staff where you work. These posts are derogatory and inappropriate.
How would you respond to the actions of your co-worker? What would be the appropriate action to take?
A. I need to communicate with my co-worker and respectfully remind her that our actions should 'convey mutual respect, equity and recognition of each other's strengths and skills' (NQS 4.2.3) and that her behaviour does not meet the Privacy and Confidentiality Policy of our workplace. I should tell her that if she continues posting in a derogatory and inappropriate manner then I will need to inform our supervisor.
