When conflict is present in the workplace, productivity and efficiency decrease as people focus on their distress rather than their work.
Causes of workplace conflict can include personality or style differences and personal issues such as relationships, childcare and family problems. Organisational factors such as leadership and management styles, budget targets and disagreement about core values can also contribute to escalating workplace conflict. These issues can affect both workplace productivity and personal well-being.

| Signs of workplace conflict may include: |
Clear, regular communication is needed to live and work together to maintain a strong working relationship. Relationships that flourish tend to sustain an easy, flowing communication. Relationships that are struggling can have poor communication, which can severely affect the work performance of employees. Lack of concentration, accidents and low morale can be some of the issues that employers may have to deal with and try and to manage.
Abate Counselling & EAP Limited have programmes that can effectively deal with these issues and consequently remove the pressure from Management.
