Deep dives

Understanding Workplace Conflict Trends

A recent study involving over 5,000 respondents revealed significant insights into workplace conflict, particularly post-pandemic. It showed that 70% of participants reported experiencing the same or increased levels of conflict compared to prior years. Many who claimed to experience less conflict noted they left toxic environments or preferred working from home, thus avoiding direct interactions. This avoidance, while seemingly peaceful, may hinder collaboration and innovation, as difficult conversations are often necessary for improvement.
