Navigating Conflict in the Workplace

Thursday, April 21, 2022
12:00 pm

The Greater Grand Forks Human Resources Association invites you to join us for our April meeting on April 21st at 12pm where Emily Holth, Owner of Sustainable Solution Services, will present on navigating conflict in the workplace. Dealing with conflict in the workforce can be difficult and often leads to workplace issues. Learning how to identify, acknowledge and rectify those situations are beneficial to the success of any work environment. Learning to be comfortable in the situations leads to discovering the issues creating conflict and help to restore homeostasis and strengthen work relations.
