Overcoming Office Conflict: How (and When) to Go to HR

About this session

We’ve all had negative experiences at work, but how do you know if and when you should talk to someone in Human Resources about it?

Too often, employees opt to do nothing at the expense of their wellbeing and the issue goes unresolved. But if you plan to take the step and talk to HR, you need to be prepared. It’s time employees had access to independent and transparent Human Resources advice.

Cierra Gross, Human Resources Professional and DEI advocate, will be joining us to talk about when and how to engage with HR to overcome office conflict and create better outcomes. She will share insider information she has learned throughout her professional career to help you go to HR with confidence.

In this chat, you’ll learn:

  • How to ask and receive what you need from Human Resources
  • Your rights as an employee
  • Strategies for handling interpersonal conflicts at work
