Conflict Resolution Procedure Misunderstandings or conflicts can arise in any work environment. To ensure effective working relationships, it is important that conflicts be resolved before serious problems develop.
Many incidents resolve themselves naturally.
If a situation persists, however, that you believe is detrimental to you or Pittsburg State University, you should follow the procedure described here. Refer to the Discrimination Grievance Procedure when the grievance alleges discrimination based upon race, color, religion, sex, national origin, age, marital status or disabilities. With Supervisor You should first discuss the problem with your immediate supervisor. If you believe that a discussion with your immediate supervisor is not appropriate, you may proceed directly to Step 2. If your problem is not resolved after the discussion with your immediate supervisor, or if you feel that a discussion with your supervisor is inappropriate, you are encouraged to request a meeting with your department head.
