Main Subject - How Much is Workplace Conflict Costing Your Company
Over the years I have come across several tools that will put a dollars and sense value on the matter of workplace conflict and the importance of its resolution. There are several assumptions in each of them, based on academic studies as well as national, international, and industry averages. They calculate the cost of replacing person "causing" the conflict, the number of times you must do so each year, and many other relevant factors.

According to USFDA, a combination product is one composed of any combination of a drug and device; biological product and device; drug and biological product
can come up with an amount of money, the ACTUAL HARD DOLLAR COST of workplace conflict in your organization, that is overwhelming. So overwhelming in fact that many business owners will decide not to believe the numbers.
Instead, they end up taking the attitude that it is easier to deal with the miserable situation they're in than it is to figure a way out of the cycle of conflict that surrounds them.

Instead of giving up and living with the conflict, even if it is just the nagging continual low grade stress caused by continual friction - stop and consider that you and everyone around you will be living the rest of their lives in

In my experience the folks who are causing all the problems are not necessarily bad people. Ok, some of them are and since they were dropped on you because you're their uncle or something - you will have to do the best you can even when they are worthless jerks.

But it may be far from easy, especially if the individual(s) causing the problems have become so isolated as the problem themselves that they feel an obligation to keep stirring things up. Crazy isn't it?

What about your company, what is the cost of workplace conflict there? It's possible to detail the dollars and sense cost, but that may not be enough to get you to take action no matter how much it is. You may be saying to yourself that even with these costs we're still doing fine financially so why rock the boat anymore than it already is?
