As long as you work and need to obtain income you will have some type of workplace issue or situation. It is inevitable to avoid. UNLESS you work for yourself and have zero employees BUT some of us don't have that luxury.
Workplace issues can create hostile environments and can lead to horrible reputation fumbles. Properly examining the core elements of the problem can lead to a positive environment. Ignoring workplace issues for a long period of time only lead to an overwhelming amount of grief.
Resolving workplace issues starts with all employees but if no one steps up to the plate YOU can begin the cycle.
Steps to Resolve Workplace Problems
1. Identify the Problem
Uncover what the important matters are so you and everyone else can move on. Once the problem is uncovered, work on the solutions and how to deal with future issues that are the same. Remain positive and focused only on the sole issue and anything slightly related to it.
2. Determine the size of the problem
Understanding how large or small the problem is will help you figure out who to talk to about it. If the problem is small and only deals with a certain group and may not effect others then speaking with a team leader or manager would be better suit. Larger issues on a bigger scale may involve Human Resources, etc. figure out the scope and size of the issue and move forward accordingly.
3. Documentation
To back up your claim you will need some type of documentation or facts. Write down or keep a log away from work or even in your PDA/ Smartphone to document certain events, etc. that led to the issue. Having these items will save time and future disagreements.
