If you are in a conflict or have a problem with someone:

Step One:            Talk with the person directly (see dealing_with_conflict_card.pdf).

If that doesn’t resolve the situation, if you’re not ready to meet, or you think it’s inappropriate to meet:

Step Two:            Get help:

1. Supervisor
2. HR
3. Other

If you feel a meeting isn’t the right step at this point:

Step Three:         Put your concerns in writing.

If that doesn’t resolve the situation:

Step Four:           Meet with the person with someone else:

1. Supervisor
2. HR
3. Other

If the situation still isn’t resolved:

Step Five:            Pursue more serious options:

1. Your manager, director, etc.
2. Other resources outside the department
3. File a complaint

Let the situation go only if doing so will have no further consequences for you, the other person, or your working relationship.
