Need Help to Resolve A Workplace Conflict or Problem?

During the first couple of weeks of class, most of us faculty are working hard getting back into the classroom routine, figuring out how to get our research projects done, and juggling around meetings and service responsibilities. As the semester progresses, issues may arise with which you may not know how to deal effectively.

Don’t forget that UMKC’s Faculty Ombudsperson is available to help you find ways to resolve your workplace issues. The mission of my office is to “contribute to a fair and respectful work environment by providing independent, neutral, confidential, and informal consultation.

I won’t solve your problems for you, but I’ll listen to your story, help you clarify your goals, assist you in generating options for action, and help you strategize next steps. I’m a faculty member myself, so I will probably understand your issue.

So if you need someone to listen, are uncertain about available solutions, or would like some coaching about how to handle a difficult conversation, the Faculty Ombudsperson is here to help. Please don’t hesitate to visit the Faculty Ombuds website and contact me if I can be of service.
