Conflict Management
Workplace conflict is costly. Conflict at work can lead to decreased engagement and productivity, increased stress, illness, absenteeism and higher staff turnover. Workplace conflict can impact all levels of an organisation, often affecting whole teams and even divisions and departments.
Effective conflict management in the workplacecounters some of these negative aspects of conflict. When conflict is managed effectively, many disputes can be minimised or prevented. Some strategies are more effective than others. Sometimes we think we are using the most effective strategies only to find that it exacerbates the conflict.
