Manage distressing bureaucratic challenges and conflicts at work.

Dan Berstein shares resources for managing distressing bureaucratic challenges and conflicts at work.

Some processes are often inherently distressing for anyone.

How do you decide your options when you think you may have experienced misconduct and bullying, and what are the considerations in seeking support or moving forward? What are some of the barriers to seeking disability accommodations, and what are conflict resolution tools that can help you navigate the self-stigma, logistical hurdles, and possible backlashes? When there is an internal or external investigation, what does that mean, and how should you prepare, whether you are the complainant, respondent, or some other kind of witness or stakeholder? 

During performance reviews, how can you be sure you are advocating for yourself and protecting yourself from inappropriate or harmful misuses of the process? If there is a policy change at your organization, what can you do if there are mistakes or problems in the implementation? And what should the people overseeing all of these processes be doing to ensure they are trauma-informed, procedurally fair, and effective?

In this program, mediator Dan Bersetin will share a framework for managing the general distress, tough topics, and obstructions that can occur for all parties involved in bureaucratic processes. You will also receive free access to tools and extra resources to help in the above situations.
