Build capacity to manage conflict from
front-line staff to supervisors
While escalating a concern or complaint is an important option, it shouldn’t be the only option. Managers know that conflicts are time-consuming, expensive, and disruptive. The solution is to build capacity across an organization to deal with issues earlier and more effectively.
With 20+ years of experience in dispute resolution, I help organizations to identify opportunities to learn from conflict and improve processes for managing complaints from front-line staff through to supervisors. I provide customized conflict resolution support, including training and conflict coaching. I draw from my experiences as a litigator, mediator, ombuds, facilitator and conflict coach, and from developing and managing a conflict resolution program for 19,000+ graduate students, staff, and faculty.
Interested in learning more about how early resolution conflict management approaches can improve working relationships and contribute to a fair and equitable workplace?
