Workplace Mediation & Conflict Resolution Services
You can’t win a conflict. Winning a conflict means getting the outcome ‘you’ want regardless of what the ‘other’ person wants. Since the underlying issue has not been solved, it will simply reappear later. Unresolved conflicts make people unhappy and can result in antagonism, break-down in communications, inefficient teams, stress and low productivity.
Workplaces can be a volatile mix of personalities, ages and agendas. Some managers describe dysfunctional teams as trying to manage a school yard. Throw into the mix that most of us don’t learn how to constructively resolve conflicts. We prefer to put our head in the sand and hope that it’ll go away. Mostly though, tensions escalate until it builds into something explosive or issues simmer and become masked by increasing absences, lack of productivity and low morale.
Conflict can be valuable if managed effectively and constructively. Resolution of disagreements and points of differences can result in:
- Developing problem solving and decision making expertise
- Improving interpersonal workplace relationships
- Increasing productivity and morale
How workplace conflict mediation works
Conflict Resolutions Sessions are an informal process to tackle issues before they escalate. Managers may ask for facilitated assistance where they identify that other approaches are not working.
Mediation is a consensual formal process to facilitate reaching a mutually satisfactory outcome. It can be utilised before the matter escalates out of hand or at high levels of escalation when a grievance is lodged or if the conflict remains a significant barrier to returning an employee to work.
