OVERVIEW
Unhealthy workplace behaviors such as gossip, stonewalling, belittling, passive aggressiveness, finger-pointing, and hypercriticism contribute to the creation of unhappy, unproductive work environments, resulting in substantial costs for organizations. According to CPP, Inc., conflicts in the workplace pose a significant financial burden on American businesses, with one evident consequence being the increased expenditure on paid leave. Their research highlights that 25% of workers have admitted to calling in sick due to workplace conflicts at least once.
Beyond the negative impact on individual employees, conflicts also demand a considerable amount of managerial time. The Washington Business Journal has calculated that managers spend an average of 25-40% of their working hours addressing workplace conflicts, translating to 43-69 hours per month for a typical 40-hour workweek.
Conflict manifests in various forms, involving individuals, employees, co-workers, customers, and external parties. Gaining a fundamental understanding of how to identify brewing conflicts, effectively addressing them at an early stage, and knowing appropriate measures to take if conflicts escalate will prove beneficial for individuals in diverse professional settings.
