Workplace Conflict
One third of employees at U.S. companies (with more than 1,000 employees) are currently looking for new jobs, with 86% citing their company’s broken processes as a driving factor behind the decision [2]. Workplace conflict is the most talked about topic in and out by employees. Till workplace conflict is not about conflict of interest and counterproductive conflict, it is sometimes healthy. Some common types of workplace conflicts are listed below:

This type of conflict should be stopped immediately and measures taken for non-repentance of the same.

Personal conflict of interest can be side lined till it doesn’t result in loss for individual.
