HomeHome Conflict Analysis & Workplace Conflict Transformation

What will it take for your employees to be less stressed at work? What will it take to make your company a happier, more productive place to work? How can we align the company’s vision with employee motivation and inspiration? As peacebuilders and culture shifters, our mission is to discover answers to these questions and implement actionable programs to solve organizations’ most pressing challenges. In accordance with the latest research in change management and organizational conflict analysis, we look at solutions both from a top-down and bottom-up approach: both culture and mindsets must shift to create a healthier workplace culture. Regardless of the particular challenges a company faces, PPS’ one-of-a-kind workplace peacebuilding program can help any company and its employees find more joy, security, and productivity at work.

Here’s what a typical Workplace Peacebuilding process involves:

1. Organizational Conflict Analysis: Interviews, observations, group circles, and surveys to collect critical information.
2. Report & Action Plan: A report of findings, along with proposed strategies for reducing conflict and improving workplace relationships.
3. Training Programs: Often, the action plan will call for one or more of our dynamic conflict resolution and communication training programs.
4. Group Coaching & Team Meeting Facilitation: Should the Action Plan require team meeting facilitation or group coaching, we can customize a group facilitation plan for employees, managers, and/or executives.
5. Executive Coaching: One-on-one executive or managerial coaching to help train leadership in best practice for organizational conflict management and effective communication.
6. ROI Analysis & Reporting: Detailed analysis of impact of the program on workers’ attitudes, company productivity, employee turnover, interoffice conflict, and general ROI.

Partnering with People Operations and HR Departments

In assessing and implementing organizational conflict management systems, PPS partners with and champions HR departments. We recognize that our job is to make HR’s job both easier and more effective, and to develop processes of change that HR can use autonomously in the future. This helps not just the organization as a whole function more cooperatively but the HR department specifically function as a model department within the organization and among competing organizations’ HR departments.

For both employees and executives, conflict and difficult conversations can be stressful. Looming confrontations are taxing, especially when one is unsure how to handle the situation. That’s why learning effective communication techniques is so important within office cultures. PPS can help individuals learn to arrive at Win-Win solutions, so everyone involved feels respected, understood, and ultimately satisfied with the outcome.
