Conflict Management at a Workplace

Conflict is inevitable in any given organization. This is because everyone has his or her ways of seeing things, perceptions and opinions on the best way to move the organization forward. The needs and the goals can clash and as a result conflict can arise. Conflict is not a bad thing...The positive aspect of conflict is that at least the issue comes to the surface rather than being brushed under the carpet. However, companies must have mechanisms in place to resolve it effectively and eliminate any hidden problem that may have been behind the flare-up. Sometimes conflict can also be very damaging especially when it results in personal dislike, a breakdown of the team and loss of talent when people disengage from the work and leave their position. This is why your organization must prepare managers for preventing and dealing with small and big conflicts at work.

How we can help:

 

Training on management styles

conflict at work resolution

Sometimes conflicts can be magnified by poor management styles where employees feel that their needs and voices are not heard. Such organizations lack a proper communication structure where grievances can be channeled and assistance provided. We coach the managers on ways to encourage communication among the team members as well as to the managers. In addition, team managers are taken through a variety of ways that they can manage conflicts and ways to determine the best way to handle a given problem. In some cases management development will also be introduced in the event the manager needs further development. They are facilitated to look for observable facts in any given case, how to review the facts with both parties and ways to explore options with the feuding parties. They learn to listen and be open to options rather than stick to a rigid method of delivering their opinions on the matters at hand.

 

Self-development training

Moreover, the managers are taken on a journey on ways to develop their stature at the company

and create respect for their team members so  that members feel at peace and satisfied to have their conflicts mediated by the said managers. In addition, they are trained on the importance of being impartial and required levels of confidence depending on the case at hand. Impartiality and confidence are the cornerstones of trust and respect to the decisions reached by both parties.
