Facilitation

Facilitation is an informal process where 1 - 2 individuals or a small group meet with an ER representative to informally resolve a potential dispute. Sometimes these issues involve relationship difficulties. 

The ER team is available to help you and your team address and diffuse potential disputes, navigate difficult conversations, and help work collaboratively toward a goal.
