Conflict in the workplace is inevitable. You, as a supervisor, determine how to handle conflicts that arise within your organization. What are the implications of this decision? At what point do you intercede in a conflict? In this workshop, participants will identify their preferred way to address conflict, learn alternative methods, and learn to analyze a conflict situation to identify appropriate strategies for resolution that can ultimately lead to positive change in the workplace.

Everyone knows the importance of preventing discrimination and harassment in the workplace. The University of Pittsburgh policies
and sound management practices dictate preventing all forms of disrespectful behavior that are harmful to others, have an adverse
effect on morale, and undermine productivity. Participants will leave this workshop with a heightened sensitivity and awareness
for identifying behaviors that are disrespectful and/or illegal. They will learn how to prevent such behaviors, how to respond
when they arise, and how to foster an environment based on mutual respect.
