EDI Workshop: Prévention et gestion des conflits en contexte de diversité

June 9 | 12:00 pm2:30 pm EDT

As part of its Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion (EDI) program, CANSSI regularly organizes EDI workshops and training sessions for the statistical sciences community. We are excited to offer our first-ever French-language training session in partnership with URelles, a Montreal-based EDI training provider whose mission is “to help Quebec organizations create inclusive and equitable cultures in order to position themselves as employers of choice.” URelles was established in 2019 and has worked with major Quebec-based companies and organizations, including STM, L’Oreal, BAnQ, Sobeys, and Ordre des CPA du Québec. It is built upon the belief that “diversity of experience, viewpoint and background is an invaluable source of wealth and innovation.”

We invite you to join us for “Prévention et gestion des conflits en contexte de diversité” (Conflict Prevention and Management in a Diversity Context), a 2.5-hour online workshop led by Chloé Freslon, Founder of URelles.

This session can be used to fulfill the CANSSI EDI requirement for CANSSI-supported researchers.

Workshop Description

Teams composed of people with diverse backgrounds, perspectives, and experiences are an invaluable asset for any organization. However, these differences can sometimes give rise to misunderstandings or tensions. This training provides you with the tools to prevent conflicts, manage disagreements constructively, and turn differences into levers for collaboration and innovation. Because at the end of the day, we’re still colleagues who must collaborate!

Chloé FreslonChloé Freslon
Founder of URelles

After working for nearly 15 years in the technology industry, with both large corporations and SMEs (small and medium-sized enterprises), Chloé became aware of the consequences of a homogeneous workforce. At the time, she was working for the media outlet Journal Métro and decided to seize this opportunity to talk about the lack of representation in organizations. URelles was born! Chloé is an accredited trainer with the Commission des partenaires du marché du travail (CPMT).  She was one of the six experts who participated in the very first report on psychological and sexual harassment in IT in Quebec, produced by TECHNOcompétences. She won the “Champion of Diversity” award at the Startup Community Awards. She writes monthly columns on diversity and inclusion for the HEC magazine, Revue Gestion.
