WEP Monthly Webinar Series: Navigating Workplace Conflicts

As per O'Brien Browne, "Few things are as inevitable and unavoidable at the workplace than misunderstandings and conflicts. As the office becomes an ever more rapid-paced, multi-tasking and globalized environment the pressure to deliver quality and reach targets on time and in-budget dramatically increases, as does the potential for conflict."

She was Winner for Bulgaria Microsoft's Skills@Work, and recently participated in the NSF-funded Navigate Project.

Jasmina and ​Women Engineers Pakistan's Ramla Qureshi set up case studies from the Navigate Project in a Pakistani setting and discuss best practices for navigating through some of the many workplace conflicts that arise due to bias, inequity, discrimination, and other (ambiguous) situations.
