Resolving Conflicts In Your Business By Setting Ground Rules

If you run a business, one of the things that can dismantale it more quickly than anything is internal conflicts. Although you, as the boss, cannot be in the middle of solving every conflict (nor do you really want to be!), you can have a hand in all conflicts by having ground rules in place. Having such ground rules is of the utmost importance, as it enables your employees to solve their disputes in a calm manner with as little mess as possible!

Detailing and documenting the processes are among the most important things you will do when setting the ground rules for resolving conflicts. Your ultimate goal, when it comes to employee conflicts, is for the employees to be able to police themselves, resolving the conflicts on their own. But if you do not have documentation as to the ground rules, your employees will never really know whether they are following protocol.

You should also make sure that you take a personal hand in creating an environment that is conducive to open communication, as this is important for helping your employees resolve conflict. Your employees should feel comfortable communicating with you because of the way in which you communicate with them, as communication should always start from the top and work its way down from there! When you establish an environment in which employees feel comfortable communicating with you and their other managers, they will also feel comfortable communicating with one another.

Of course, should there be a conflict that the employees are unable to work out on their own, it is important that you have a step in place that enables you or a manager to step in and mediate. In this way, you will be able to keep things in your business under control and have a clear view of everything that is going on.

When it comes to small businesses, conflicts among employees can be detrimental. When you learn how to set the ground rules to enable employees to take care of their conflicts on their own as often as possible, you will help your business run much more smoothly!
