SAMPLE CONFLICT RESOLUTION PROCEDURES

These structures are new to all of us.
It will take time to develop new habits and ways of working, communicating,
and supporting each other to grow, excel, and succeed.
We will all be patient with each other if we forget our new procedures.
We will all give each other the benefit of the doubt.
We will refrain from blaming each other whenever possible.
We will gently remind each other of our new procedures for working and
communicating.
ANY conflict about these new procedures can and should be brought to HR to
resolve. HR will be a safe haven for any party having conflict with these new
ways of working.
HR will gently, without blame, clarify procedures, and redirect the parties to
adhere to our new working procedures.
This is not about discipline; this is about supporting everyone at (Company)
to EXCEL.
Because these procedures are new to us, we may need to check in with each other and
remind each other more frequently at first (perhaps even once a day) to make sure we are
employing these new ways of working together. It’s OKAY. We need to agree that it’s okay
and it’s SAFE to do so.
