High stress, low morale?
Looking for Solutions for Addressing Conflict, Bullying, and Mental Health Issues?
These challenging times have created unprecedented stress levels for employees. The perfect storm of political, economic, environmental, and health issues have converged over the past few years, forcing employers to look for ways to support employees’ physical and mental health.
Managing remotely has proven to be challenging. While some employees are successful working independently, most employees feel isolated and may experience depression.
And the stress levels are much worse if an employee is working with the public. Standards of behavior seem to invite confrontation and conflict. But harassment, bullying, and negative behavior are not acceptable.
Uncertainty, fear, anxiety, and stress create workplace conflict. A certain amount of conflict and stress can be addressed and diffused. But mounting stress and conflict at this level are difficult to deal with. Employees need resources to support them and people to go to with their complaints. Employees’ mental health has suffered. Athletes such as Naomi Osaka, Rafael Nadal, and Simone Biles have decided their mental health is too important to continue working in stressful situations.
Harassment, Bullying and Conflict Prevention
Managing in this environment is tricky too. More pressure is put on managers for team productivity and results despite the harsh realities. Managers need training and skills in resolving interpersonal conflict, supporting employees, and responding to complaints of harassment and bullying.
Fear of returning to the office environment is causing many employees to withdraw from their jobs and others will decide to quit, causing more pressure to fill those positions with trained workers.
Wise employers will take steps to address these issues through employee engagement and support. Setting team ground rules and clarifying expectations is important as are engagement, motivation, trust, and credibility. Resolving conflict and collaboration can provide a framework, and Providing Feedback can promote the process of conducting sensitive conversations.
