How to handle of office conflicts

Then your company lands a huge new contract and everyone is working overtime. Voices are rising and fingers are pointing and much of your time is taken up by playing referee.  You walk outside to see if there is a full moon in sight. When you return, there is another employee in your office waiting to complain about a co-worker.

According to the President of Human Resource  Solution, Roberta Chinsky Matuson, conflict  in the workplace is inevitable. When you throw a group of people together at close quarters, differences are bound to surface.  But the news is not all bad. Some conflict in the organisation can be beneficial. Differences of opinion encourage creativity, change and progress. If addressed early, conflict can also provide insight into larger issues that may be brewing.
