What if the conflict leads to angry, threatening behaviour?
Yelling, name-calling or threatening outbursts should not be tolerated in any workplace. If a co-worker displays this kind of behaviour a report to a supervisor and to the Environmental Health and Safety Office should be made immediately so that a quick response can occur. While we encourage employees to address workplace conflict on their own whenever possible, the behaviours described above are symptoms of conflict that has become dangerously escalated and that require direct intervention.
