Office life

Office conflicts are a normal occurrence. It is often difficult to resolve them from within an organization. People may be seen as taking sides, and goals or expectations could be different. Due to power imbalances, individuals may not express their concerns. This leads to conflict. It takes a neutral third person at the table, the mediator, to help the parties work through the issues and arrive at an agreeable resolution.
