NEED HELP WITH A WORKPLACE CONFLICT?
Do you hate going to work because of ongoing conflict with a co-worker? Do you love your job but hate the stress of the conflict? You may be an employer losing productivity or an employee stuck in a difficult situation you don’t know how to resolve.
Mediation can help resolve the conflict and create a more productive working relationship for the future.
The typical manager spends 25-40% of his or her time dealing with workplace conflicts. That’s 1 to 2 days of every work week
Washington Business Journal, May 2005
