Managing with Fairness
A half day to take decisions the team sees as fair: sharing out tasks and hours, leave, overtime, progression, sanctions, recognition. Participants tell equality from fairness, spot unintentional favouritism, set explicit criteria for recurring decisions and learn to explain a decision to the person it disappoints. The cases concern the real trade-offs in their own team.
Duration0.5 day

- Apply rules and sanctions consistently from one employee to another
Programme
Half day
- The feeling of injustice: its effects on engagement, absenteeism and conflict
- Equality and fairness: treating everyone the same, or according to each person’s situation

- Criteria known to everyone for the team’s recurring decisions
- Workshop: ruling on a real case and announcing the decision to a disappointed employee
Teaching methods

- Cases from production and logistics teams: weekend scheduling, allocation of overtime, choosing a team leader
- Role plays: explaining a refused leave request, a promotion granted to someone else
- Building allocation rules to share with the team
- A fair-decision grid given to each participant

Frequently asked questions
Is being fair the same as treating everyone the same way?
Not always. The rules must be the same for everyone, but how they are applied can take situations into account: a schedule adjustment for health reasons is not a privilege. The module helps tell the difference and explain it to the team.
How is this different from “Managing Diversity and Inclusion”?
This module deals with the justice of the manager’s everyday decisions towards each employee. The diversity day deals with biases linked to differences in age, gender, origin or disability, and the framework of non-discrimination.
And when the manager does not decide alone on progression or bonuses?
That is common. The course then focuses on what they propose, on the criteria they defend with their hierarchy and on how to explain to the team a decision made elsewhere.
