WORKPLACE GENDER DYNAMICS:
What is a conflict resolver meant to do?
JAMES KORNBLUH
AND
ELIZABETH CLEMANTS
In this day of sexual harassment, with crossed boundaries and workplace safety at an all time low, it is important for conflict resolvers to consider how they may work in this space to change the dynamics.
Feeling safe, honored and respected by supervisors, colleagues, employees and clients is directly correlated to the degree a team can be creative, innovative and show up powerfully at work.
This workshop will speak to how leaders in an organization or mediators can work with the gender dynamics and intervene to shift the culture toward both recovering from a sexual harassment crisis, healing and transforming the team afterward, and ultimately using the conflict to change the landscape of the workplace culture.
