Conflict or poor workplace relationships or interactions
Conflict or poor workplace relationships and interactions can refer to a breakdown of individual and team relationships, and conflict arising from tasks or relationships, violence and incivility.
About conflict or poor workplace relationships and interactions
Things that increase the likelihood of conflict or poor workplace relationships include:
- a culture of tolerating swearing, name calling, spreading rumours or rudeness within the workplace
- a lack of policies or processes to handle reports of unacceptable behaviour
- the presence of other psychosocial hazards.
Harmful behaviours can come from a range of sources:
- External behaviours from customers, clients, patients, members of the public or from other businesses
- Internal behaviours from other workers, supervisors or managers.
Conflict or poor workplace relationships and interactions have been identified as a hazard in the Model Code of Practice: Managing psychosocial hazards at work.
