But first, you\u2019ve gotta know that workplace conflict isn\u2019t necessarily a bad thing. In fact, it\u2019s a natural and inevitable occurrence, and can be a sign you\u2019ve got a healthy amount of diversity in your team.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWithout differing opinions, you may experience a smooth work life, but you\u2019d lack diversity of thought,\u201d explains Lau Li Choo, mediation specialist at <a href=\"https:\/\/emcc.org.sg\/\" rel=\"nofollow\">Eagles Mediation &amp; Counselling Centre<\/a>. \u201cHow would you know if you have the best ideas and solutions if you only have one way of thinking? Business growth will surely be stunted.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>But while conflict can be good, there\u2019s a lot you can stand to lose if disagreements aren\u2019t handled well. Resentment can fester, and the unhappiness your employees feel can spill over into their quality of work. \u201cConflict can escalate when incorrect and unproductive interventions are used, detracting from other important work,\u201d says Sean Lim, managing director and certified mediator at <a href=\"https:\/\/peacemakers.sg\/\" rel=\"nofollow\">Peacemakers<\/a>. \u201cThis can be incredibly detrimental to the mental and physical health of employees.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>What does this mean if you\u2019re a business manager or owner? Well, you might observe a large dip in employee morale, high turnover rates and low productivity that may eventually result in a loss in revenue.<\/p>\n<h3>Sources of conflict in the workplace<\/h3>\n<figure id=\"attachment_261435\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-261435\" style=\"width: 900px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-261435 lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/10\/how-to-resolve-workplace-conflict-Anna-Shvets-via-Pexels-900x643.jpg\" alt=\"how to resolve workplace conflict\" width=\"900\" height=\"643\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/10\/how-to-resolve-workplace-conflict-Anna-Shvets-via-Pexels-900x643.jpg 900w, https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/10\/how-to-resolve-workplace-conflict-Anna-Shvets-via-Pexels-1400x1000.jpg 1400w, https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/10\/how-to-resolve-workplace-conflict-Anna-Shvets-via-Pexels-768x549.jpg 768w, https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/10\/how-to-resolve-workplace-conflict-Anna-Shvets-via-Pexels.jpg 1421w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 900px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 900\/643;\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-261435\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Photography: Anna Shvets via Pexels<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>We don\u2019t know about you, but we\u2019ve definitely been there. When working on projects that require a lot of teamwork, it can be frustrating to deal with a stubborn or less than empathetic colleague. Even worse when the brooding unhappiness is ignored by upper management and you feel like you\u2019re left to fend for yourself. Perhaps the key to resolving workplace conflict and making peace with your coworkers lies in understanding why it sparks in the first place. Experts share a number of common reasons we can expect.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cDisputes often arise over miscommunications and misunderstandings,\u201d Sean says. \u201cThis can look like mismatched and unmet expectations, confusion about job roles and responsibilities, and even complete misunderstandings between personal perceptions and reality.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>A lack of resources can also result in employees struggling to do their jobs well, causing disharmony in the process. \u201cPressure to compete for those resources can arise, and others may feel they\u2019re being pushed too hard to perform. Or that their workloads are unmanageable compared to the resources and support they are given,\u201d Sean says.<\/p>\n<p>Li Choo shares another contributing factor to workplace conflict may be the unequal power balance between those in authority and those under them. For example, a manager needing more data added to a report, and a subordinate who feels they can\u2019t turn down this request despite the sudden increase in workload on their end. This resentment can build overtime.<\/p>\n<p>Perhaps it\u2019s also important to recognise that work can be frustrating \u2013 for everyone. We\u2019re only human after all. It\u2019s no wonder that strong emotions can manifest physically if not addressed in time.<\/p>\n<p>Now that we know what causes workplace conflict, here\u2019s how we can go about resolving it effectively.<\/p>\n<h3>How to resolve workplace conflict<\/h3>\n<h4>1. Early intervention works miracles<\/h4>\n<figure id=\"attachment_261436\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-261436\" style=\"width: 900px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-261436 lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/10\/how-to-resolve-workplace-conflict-Cottonbro-via-Pexels-900x643.jpg\" alt=\"how to resolve workplace conflict\" width=\"900\" height=\"643\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/10\/how-to-resolve-workplace-conflict-Cottonbro-via-Pexels-900x643.jpg 900w, https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/10\/how-to-resolve-workplace-conflict-Cottonbro-via-Pexels-1400x1000.jpg 1400w, https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/10\/how-to-resolve-workplace-conflict-Cottonbro-via-Pexels-768x549.jpg 768w, https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/10\/how-to-resolve-workplace-conflict-Cottonbro-via-Pexels-1536x1097.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/10\/how-to-resolve-workplace-conflict-Cottonbro-via-Pexels.jpg 1568w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 900px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 900\/643;\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-261436\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Photography: Cottonbro via Pexels<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Most employers only think of sending business leaders and managers for conflict management training. This is great, especially if you have the right strategies and policies in place for when employees approach you to mediate disputes. But what can actually be the most helpful for your business is providing all staff the same learning opportunity. This helps them pick up the necessary skills they need to tackle smaller disputes they might face within teams.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNot every issue needs to be escalated [to upper management],\u201d Sean explains. \u201cHaving all staff competent in conflict management and building a culture of effective early intervention can save an organisation a great deal of time and resources.\u201d<\/p>\n<h4>2. Don\u2019t play the victim card<\/h4>\n<p>Find yourself butting heads with a coworker? This might seem counterintuitive, but while you feel like you\u2019ve been wronged, it\u2019s important not to play the victim card. Why not? Li Choo shares that this can lead us to second guess our colleague\u2019s motives and reasons, putting a negative spin where there may not be any. Instead, come prepared to have an open discussion instead of inviting confrontation.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe all find it hard to hear criticism, and it\u2019s natural for our immediate thoughts to also be negative,\u201d she shares. \u201cTake some time to reflect on your response. Try to have empathy for your colleague and think about the possible reasons or unmet needs that might have resulted in this conflict.\u201d This can help us better understand our workmates, and you\u2019ll be one step closer to building an environment that\u2019s void of toxicity.<\/p>\n<h4>3. Hop on a video call<\/h4>\n<figure id=\"attachment_261439\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-261439\" style=\"width: 900px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-261439 lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/10\/how-to-resolve-workplace-conflict-Matilda-Wormwood-via-Pexels-900x643.jpg\" alt=\"how to resolve workplace conflict\" width=\"900\" height=\"643\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/10\/how-to-resolve-workplace-conflict-Matilda-Wormwood-via-Pexels-900x643.jpg 900w, https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/10\/how-to-resolve-workplace-conflict-Matilda-Wormwood-via-Pexels-768x548.jpg 768w, https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/10\/how-to-resolve-workplace-conflict-Matilda-Wormwood-via-Pexels.jpg 1371w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 900px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 900\/643;\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-261439\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Photography: Matilda Wormwood via Pexels<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Even if you\u2019re operating on a remote or hybrid working system, that isn\u2019t an excuse to leave issues unresolved. If you\u2019re unhappy, let your colleague know, and hop on a video call to clear things up as soon as you can. Don\u2019t forget to turn on your camera when speaking!<\/p>\n<p>Li Choo shares that according to research, 55% of meaning is communicated through body language. As such, ensure that at least the upper third of your body can be seen on screen, so your hand gestures are visible to the recipient. Feel like what you\u2019re discussing is uncomfortable for your colleague to hear? Li Choo suggests moving your face closer to the camera and looking directly in it, as though making eye contact.<\/p>\n<p>We guess we\u2019ll be turning our cameras on the next time we\u2019re having a serious discussion on a Zoom meeting or finding ways to communicate effectively to avoid conflict.<\/p>\n<p>It might be tough for us to walk the talk (especially for <a href=\"https:\/\/thehoneycombers.com\/singapore\/career-advice-for-introverts\/\">introverts<\/a>). But when it\u2019s to do with workplace conflict, it\u2019s worth remembering that having a tough conversation is much better than harbouring resentment for our fellow coworkers.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We\u2019re all not strangers to conflict.
