WORKPLACE CONFLICT MANAGEMENT

Conflict is an unavoidable part of life and work. When conflict arises in the workplace, it often leads to morale problems and can have a negative impact on productivity and fulfilling organizational goals. Workplace conflict can spill over and hurt the organization’s client and customer relations.

MVMC offers workshops, individual workplace planning, mediation, facilitation and conflict coaching services for workplaces.

MVMC has a Workplace Conflict Management Confidential Cohort twice a year for managers and supervisors.  Participants receive support and insight into their workplace dilemmas and utilize the case study model in an interactive and participatory process. 

Sessions are held by Zoom video conferencing and in partnership with the Martha’s Vineyard Chamber of Commerce. The course is facilitated by Sara Barnes, MVMP Lead Mediator. Click the link below to see when our next cohort begins.

Testimonials

“I was terrified when I came into the court. It seemed like the end of the world. Thanks to my compassionate and understanding mediators, I was able to have a productive conversation with someone I considered an adversary. I couldn’t believe we were able to work it out without going in front of a judge. Thank you MVMP.”

“I was really not looking forward to mediation. But it turned turned out to be relatively pleasant. I really enjoyed working with the two of you. I plan to recommend mediation to others.”

– Divorce Client

“You brought us all together. It was awesome. I am so relieved. All our people felt uplifted, more united and part of a team. In particular one Board member said she felt she was taken care of with kindness and wisdom. We all know each other much better, have defined our work together and are in such better shape than we were when we started. Thank you MVMP.”

“If you have the chance to do Conflict Coaching, DO IT! It was eye opening for me. My coach was kind, insightful and such a great listener. Most importantly, I learned so much about myself and about how I handle conflict. I now have a good, solid conflict management plan for the future.”

“It was valuable to help me handle a current conflict in my workplace. Putting a positive spin on conflict was an eye-opener for me. It gives me a structure to address problems. We had a very serious conflict at work recently so this is very important and relevant to me right now.”
