Do You Have Workplace Conflict on Your Farm? Really?
I’m sure you’ve been around farms where there is so much tension in the air you have trouble breathing.
Is is workplace conflict, disagreements legitimate or not about the way things should or are being done?
Or is it just their nature to argue and complain about everything and every one?
Either way, there is a cost – actually a measurable cost resulting from conflict in the workplace.
Conflict in the workplace, assuming it is an actual pitched battle between employees -fights on the loading dock for instance, or between supervisors who start malicious rumors about one another, is easy to see.
Even so the dollar cost of such obvious conflict is rarely measured.
Other, much more subtle forms of conflict in workplace, such as intimidation or bullying are never measured.
Not only does this sort of conduct often become “he said – she said” with the taking of sides the only result, it is usually not seen by management as conflict in the traditional sense, so now attempt to resolve it takes place.
