Conflict resolution in the workplace

 As discussed in the unit lesson, resolving conflict in the workplace requires using interpersonal skills, management skills, and techniques. Interpersonal skills can consist of understanding individual differences, self-esteem, self-confidence, communication, teamwork skills, problem-solving skills, cultural relations skills, motivation skills, customer service skills, ethical behavior skills, and stress management skills. Management skills focus on the type of management skill applied such as collaborating, accommodating, forcing, avoiding, and compromising. As a member of the workforce, you must be able to effectively resolve conflict, either with the use of interpersonal skills, management skills, or by applying the recommended ways of responding to tension in the workplace (e.g., overcoming defensiveness, accepting of the tension, and resolving the tension).

For your Unit VI Assignment, please reflect on your knowledge of resolving conflict that you have experienced or observed in the workplace. Please analyze what you have learned. Describe how your learned knowledge can be used. Also, identify how this information can be used to resolve conflict in the workplace in your current job or from a past incident you have experienced. What steps/methods were used in resolving the conflict?

wage structure and salary issues

 

Consistency in compensation structures is important from a planning and equity perspective. Organizations typically seek to align their wage structures for ease in management as well as equity and overall compensation. The organization is exploring pay for performance approach to individual wage administration. The Vice President of HR has decided that if adopted, a range method would most align with the company’s compensation philosophy. 

Considering this please address the following prompts in your discussion:

  • There are four primary ways that organizations align their wage structures. Select the one that most aligns with your organization then discuss how this alignment is applicable as demonstrated in your company’s compensation practices.
  • What are the key elements in designing a pay-for-performance system?
  • Discuss the benefits and challenges of managing employees through various salary rate ranges. How can the salary ranges help prevent internal and external equity issues?

Please be sure to validate your opinions and ideas with citations and references in APA format.
