A Better Way to Resolve Workplace Conflicts

When two individuals with different priorities, styles and needs must interact to implement plans and solve problems, it's not uncommon for the individuals' actions and needs to be misunderstood. This misunderstanding can lead to a contentious environment, which can quickly escalate into a situation in need of an intervention. The Birkman Method® is an effective tool for understanding the deeper subtext of work-related conflicts and allows for a more meaningful solution of the conflict at hand, while giving the participants the necessary insights to minimize future conflicts.

Bringing Both Sides Together

The Birkman Method® has the capability of measuring rather than inferring each individual's underlying needs. Our unique “Differences to Watch” report highlights where one individual's usual behaviors are not likely to meet another individual's underlying needs. By shining a light on these differences, it begins a process of reducing or avoiding the development of abrasive relationships, thus allowing the two individuals to build bridges of communication and get back to the task of working together for the common good.
