Be proactive - manage conflict before it arisesConflict in the workplace is something that everyone deals with.
Whether it is caused by differing opinions or a specific event, it
decreases productivity and success within organizations.
As noted in an AllBusiness.com publication, “Informal counseling
provides managers and supervisors with an effective means of
addressing and managing conflict in the workplace.” However it’s not
always that easy!
Here are some simple ways to avoid workplace conflict:
- Address issues before they become a larger problem – glares and
hissing won’t solve everything.
- Have a process for resolving conflicts – creating a plan of action
works best if it’s
BEFORE conflict arises.
- Provide conflict and mediation training for all employees – learning
makes the world go round.
- Discourage gossip – and other lame school-yard bullying tactics.
- Make sure job expectations are realistic and consistent with job
description – riding a unicycle for an hour blind-folded might be out
of most people’s league.
- Recognize and encourage praise for accomplishments – gold stars for
all!
Managers who are able to successfully manage conflicts will experience
fewer complaints. Appropriately, employees who are able to diffuse
conflicts in a respectful and timely manner experience will create a
more positive and efficient work environment for all!

our job better, more efficiently, learning how to utilize our existing skills, and more about
ourselves as employees.

hallmarks of staffing industry professionalism.”
Networking is regarded as one of the most effective job search tools, and it’s simple: build
relationships and share information with others. More specifically, networking is the

1. Build rewarding relationships
2. Connect with individuals from a variety of industries
3. Learn about jobs and other career opportunities that aren’t advertised
4. Build a list of contacts that are willing to mentor and help
5. Future employment – 60% of jobs are landed using a network
So get out there – meet people, and explore all of the opportunities that others in different
industries have to offer!
