Reducing Conflict and Building Cooperation

Why is Managing Conflict Important?

Besides wasted time, unresolved conflict costs businesses in a number of ways including:

• Bad Decisions; people in conflict rarely value the other person's contribution.
• Lost Employees; very often, excellent people just grow weary of the negative environment.
• Unnecessary Restructuring Costs; sometimes people see the only way out is to change the structure of the teams.
• Sabotage, Theft, Damage; people who are disenfranchised are more likely to take it out on their employer.
• Lowered Employee Motivation; poor interpersonal relationships leads to dissatisfaction and lowered morale.
• Lost Work Time.
• Health and Safety Costs; people experiencing interpersonal conflict are often stressed and exhausted and this is not conducive to a safe working environment.
• Lost Productivity: people preoccupied with conflicts and unmanaged differences of opinion, rarely provide quality customer service or contribute to their full potential.
• Lost Job Opportunities; people who don't seem to get along or who openly challenge each other, will often be viewed as less competent and trustworthy.
