Mediation Services
Conflict is inevitable. When people work together, disagreements can occur. Usually this conflict can be resolved between the parties with little or no input from other persons. Sometimes, however, the parties need help to resolve their differences. When employees at Florida State University need help in resolving a conflict, they may turn to the Employee Assistance Program mediation service for help.
This is a free and confidential program to help you resolve disputes. All you have to lose is your conflict - but the first step is yours to make.
