Protect Your Organisation And your People From Damaging Conflict

Workplace conflicts are many and varied. That is a normal part of life. Unfortunately, unattended or poorly managed conflicts can be very destructive.

At an organisation level, conflict can quickly affect productivity, relationships, health, safety, and reputation. It can spiral into complaints, investigations, compensation claims, staff exits and litigation. So unattended conflict is a major threat to your organisation, eventually putting its growth and profitability at risk.

At an individual level, conflicts build up frustrations, anger and aggression. They also can lead to withdrawal / avoidance behaviour, confusion, distress, anxiety... They diminish a person's ability to solve problems and make smart decisions. And it can lower that person's perception of their options and skills.

Recover From Crisis, Restore Team Harmony, Repair Work Relationships

When disagreements or disputes arise, the most important factor in reducing individual, team and organisational damage, including financial costs, is to deal with conflict at its source. That way, productive effort and relationships can be restored very quickly. If conflicts escalate and more people become involve, the potential for faster escalation and higher costs increases. So prompt and effective intervention is critical.
