Workplace Advisors
魅影直播 is committed to providing its employees, including all faculty and staff members, with an equitable and respectful work environment.
While we hope that every workday is positive and productive, in any workplace, including 魅影直播, sometimes frustration, tension and conflict occur. Such workplace issues may transpire between co-workers, between a staff and faculty member, between a faculty member and student, or between employees and their supervisors, among other examples. When these situations arise, staff and faculty may choose to work it out themselves or they may wish to avail themselves of the help of others at the College.
Staff and faculty who wish to enlist the help of another individual should call upon their supervisor or department chair, respectively, for guidance and support. If staff or faculty are uncomfortable approaching their supervisor or department chair (or if they are the source of the issue), there are a number of options available.
Faculty and staff may choose to talk with a Workplace Advisor who can provide valuable listening, consultation, support and advocacy. Workplace Advisors will serve in the following roles:
- Provide a confidential and 鈥渙ff-the-record鈥 place for discussing workplace issues.
- Offer guidance on approaching or resolving an issue.
- Provide information on resources and options for navigating College policies and procedures.
- Serve as a mediator, discussion facilitator, advocate and/or supportive presence in conflict resolution or in the resolution of the workplace issue.
- Be a supportive presence in conflict resolution or in the resolution of the workplace issue by the appropriate College administrator.
- Serve as a first point of contact if faculty/staff members are unsure where to go for particular information.
Staff are not required to consult only with Workplace Advisors who are staff, and faculty are not limited to consulting only a fellow faculty member. The individual with the concern elects with whom they want to share their concern, though it is advised that they not select a Workplace Advisor who has immediate or ultimate supervisory responsibility for themselves or for the other faculty/staff member involved in the concern to avoid the perception that the Workplace Advisor is biased.
Staff and faculty may contact Workplace Advisors using the information below; there is no shared phone number or email address for Workplace Advisors.
