Setting Ground Rules For Resolving Conflicts In Your Business

One thing that can dismantle your business more quickly than anything is unsolved, incessant, internal conflicts. Even though you are unable to - and probably unwilling to - be involved in solving every conflict, you can have a hand in the way every conflict is solved by having ground rules in place. You want your employees to be able to settle their disputes calmly and with as little mess as possible, and you can do this by having these ground rules in place.

Detailing and documenting the processes are among the most important things you will do when setting the ground rules for resolving conflicts. You want your employees to be able to police themselves and resolve conflicts on their own, as this is the ultimate goal when it comes to employee conflicts. But if your ground rules are not detailed and documented, your employees will be trying to solve their conflicts without ever knowing if 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. Communication should start from the top and trickle down, which means that you should communicate with your employees, but it also means they should be able to communicate with you! Once you create an atmosphere in which your employees feel comfortable communicating with you and 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 can ensure that you still have a clear view of everything that is going on in your business, and will be able to keep things under control.

Few things can derail a small business as quickly as conflicts among the employees. 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!
