For Concerns in the Workplace

There are many ways to deal with concerns in the workplace. Below are a few options, dependent on the situation.

  • Give feedback directly. If you hear or see something you feel is inappropriate, and you feel comfortable addressing the issue directly, tell the person or people about how their behavior impacted you.
  • Contact your supervisor to discuss what happened. Your supervisor can help you address the issue and engage others as needed.
  • Contact FCS Human Resources to discuss the situation. FCS Human Resources can work with you to find an appropriate resolution.
  • Contact the Faculty and Staff Assistant Program (FSAP). FSAP offers free and confidential guidance and support to benefits-eligible employees and their partners to address issues that may be affecting their personal lives and/or job satisfaction or performance. 
  • Contact the Diversity Leadership at Cornell to report harassment or bias.
  • Contact the Office of the University Ombuds.
  • If you are represented by a union, contact your union. Your union representative, steward, or local office can support you through the process and help you in dealing with the situation.
