  Workplace Conflict

STH & CAS Towers, BostonWhen you and/or the people you work with are not getting along, the consequences can be costly. Productivity and efficiency tend to decrease as people focus on their distress rather than their work.

Causes for workplace conflict can be personality or style differences and personal problems such as: substance abuse, childcare issues, and family problems. Organizational factors such as leadership, management, budget, and disagreement about core values can also contribute. These issues can affect not only your work life, but your personal life as well. Individuals experiencing workplace conflict may feel stressed, anxious, angry, and even depressed.
