Human resources expert offers advice on dealing with workplace conflict in today’s political climate\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

\"WorkplaceResearch shows that 85 percent of employees say that they experience workplace conflict, with\u00a0over 2 hours a week<\/a>\u00a0being spent on navigating workplace drama. Workplace conflict is not just stressful and unpleasant, it can have a major impact on employee productivity. Indeed, conflicts in the workplace cost companies about $359 billion dollars in paid hours.<\/p>\n

Rob Wilson, human resources expert and\u00a0President of Employco USA<\/a>, an employment solutions firm with locations across the country, says:<\/p>\n

\u201cIn today\u2019s culture, employees aren\u2019t just together when they\u2019re literally on the job: they\u2019re together all the time thanks to technology like Skype, WhatsApp, Slack and other coworker communication apps. Not to mention, our current political climate is so divisive right now, and social media only further encourages arguments and discord among your staff.\u201d<\/p>\n

Wilson, who has worked directly with many clients who have required assistance managing conflict within their workplaces, says that research shows that workplace conflict is on the rise. \u201cFrom personality clashes to overwork to poor management, workplace conflict is inevitable and it\u2019s actually getting worse,\u201d he says.<\/p>\n

So how can employers be proactive about workplace conflict?<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\u201cIn some cases, minor workplace conflict can resolve itself. For example, if you have two trusted, long-time employees who get into a verbal dustup during a meeting, you might feel confident that they just need some time to cool off, and then they can work it out without managerial support,\u201d says Wilson. \u201cBut, time is really of essence when it comes to workplace conflict. Don\u2019t turn a blind eye to problems and hope that they don\u2019t boil over, because many times, they will do just that.\u201d<\/p>\n

To manage conflict, Wilson says there are two approaches a boss or supervisor can take.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf the conflict is minor or not deeply personal, just a simple disagreement over work responsibilities, then you can call both employees into your office and try to hash it out as a team, preferably with a non-biased mediator,\u201d says Wilson. \u201cBut, if the situation involves allegations of workplace bullying, threats of violence or harassment, or even potential lawsuits, then you should talk to your employees separately and do so in a neutral location.\u201d<\/p>\n

And remember, says Wilson, workplace conflict does not just impact the involved parties.<\/p>\n

\u201cMany employees say that workplace conflict can cause them extreme stress, even if they are just witnessing the arguments and insults,\u201d says Wilson. \u201cIt might be a good idea to look into mental health initiatives for your staff or even instituting new training to help remind employees how to handle conflict.\u201d<\/p>\n
