Problem Solving Teams. The Problem Solving Team (PST) will consist of representatives from SHARE and representatives of Human Resources and/or management at UMMS and Commonwealth Medicine. There will be at least one union representative and one management representative familiar with the Psychiatry Units. The Problem Solving Oversight Team (PSOT) will consist of an equal number of representatives from SHARE and Human Resources and/or management at UMMS and Commonwealth Medicine. In addition to serving as a step after the PST in problem solving, the PSOT is also responsible for overseeing, monitoring and analyzing the joint problem solving process over time. SHARE and UMMS will consult with each other about who to appoint to the PSOT. PST and PSOT members will be jointly trained in the problem solving process and in problem solving skills including consensus building, joint fact finding, problem identification, and conflict resolution. We will also jointly provide training for employees and supervisors in how to solve problems informally, as well as how to use the problem solving process. Because most of the problems will be solved locally in Steps 1 and 2, UMMS recognizes the importance of having skilled members of the bargaining unit participate as problem- solving partners. We will commit to train and support this group of employees who are making an extra effort to better the workplace community. Union representatives involved in problem solving will be granted a reasonable amount of release time. Requests for release time shall be made in advance and shall not be unreasonably denied.
