What is conflict management?

Conflict management is the process of resolving disputes, minimizing negative results and prioritizing positive results. It allows the impacted parties to continue to work together, even in the face of ongoing conflict. Conflict management uses negotiation, creative thinking and other strategies.

Why is conflict management important?

Managing conflict well helps prevent workplace environments that breed negativity, stress, demotivation and low employee morale. Toxic environments and poor company culture can impact employee mental health and well-being and lead to higher absence rates, low productivity and staff turnover.

  • Decreased productivity
  • Quality issues
  • High turnover
  • Excessive absenteeism
  • Dysfunctional meetings, e.g. lack of clear agenda, engagement, respect
  • Anxiety and stress
  • Complaints
