Is this my job? Managing conflict for very busy people

 

Managing conflict and communication differences among students, direct reports, and peers is the worst part of many people's jobs. It's uncomfortable, it's time-consuming, and it's often unclear how much you're supposed to (or are even allowed to) do. This workshop will aim to make this part of your job easier by offering clarity on your role, a roadmap for how to handle conflict and when to refer to campus resources, and strategies for avoiding escalation in the first place. 

 

Lunch will be provided. This workshop is developed primarily for faculty, but all employees are welcome.

Together RIT

 

Together RIT creates a space to ask questions, empathize, build solidarity, and give recognition to our unique experiences. The day is also an opportunity to highlight the positive contributions, joy and pride that come along with identifying with a particular religion, faith, or spirituality. It is a day to seek understanding of political divisions in order to discover what we also have in common.
