More Details on Organizational Mediation

There are material professional, relational, and organizational aspects to being in a workplace, as well as standards and constraints. We must coexist with these elements.

Work is defined as a set of organized human activities, that are useful and geared towards a specific goal. Its actors, including humans, all have different characteristics and values, with diverging interests at times. Therefore, conflicts are an inevitable aspect of life at work. But while we usually see the conflict as a risk or danger, more often than not, it actually brings an opportunity.

To create this opportunity, we must, first of all, be transparent and respect the interests of each actor. In a situation of conflict, this allows us to understand things differently and to consolidate relationships. When conflict is ignored, it can cause stress and anxiety and cause deterioration of the relationships in the workplace. Sometimes these effects can spread and cause a destruction of the work environment. At this stage, it is normal that people no longer know how to handle the situation.

The use of mediation can be an effective way to transform conflict into a learning and business opportunity.
