ost workers will face challenges that can cause even the most cooperative to loose patience and resiliency.

Conflicts Big and Small...
...have a way of causing communication barriers to go up, at work, and productivity to go down. Even the most resilient workers sometimes lose their ability to communicate well with colleagues. Karen Joffe, of Working Diplomacy, facilitates an end to conflict and builds cooperation within organizations.

An Ounce of Diplomacy...
...at work is one ingredient in achieving healthy working relationships. Karen Joffe intervenes with staff and managers to facilitate an end to behaviors which contribute to low morale and problems with customer service.

A Pound of Cure...
...Karen Joffe can assess the need for Working Diplomacy services in a preliminary interview. Working Diplomacy provides the following conflict intervention strategies for building cooperation within organizations:

Individual Sessions to help resolve workplace dilemmas. With the help of an outside neutral, individuals who are hesitant or even unwilling to work with a co-worker develop strategies to resolve the problem.

Team Mediation to help improve communication and cooperation between colleagues who no longer work well together. With the help of an outside neutral, understanding of the problem is developed and manageable corrections are found.

Group Facilitation to help organizations when change in the status quo threatens morale and performance. Facilitated dialogue sessions result in acceptance of change and improved lines of communication.

Client or Customer Service Problem Solving to help when external complaints grow and normal internal responses fall short. Problems are investigated, from the perspective of a neutral conflict manager, and recommendations are made to restore good faith and reduce negative public exposure.
