Reporting to supervisor | Why is this necessary? |
---|---|
Refer unresolved conflict situations to your Supervisor. | Supervisor is the one who has the authority to counsel and guide both the parties involved in conflict in the direct direction. The supervisor is moreover, responsible for putting a disciplinary system into action in order to reconcile by solving unresolved conflicts (Roche, 2016). Doing so would then help in organising the overall workflow. |
Refer issues impacting on employee or client rights and responsibilities to your Supervisor. | In order for a supervisor to come to an ultimate solution of resolving conflicts, it is essential to determine the nature of conflict that is the main issue. This is because different types of issues require different mitigation actions. For instance, internal conflict in the form of argument can be resolved by mutual understanding and encouraging respect (Folse, 2018). |
A: Why is it important that Daniel does the following:
listens to your requests
Complete the table.
Communicating effectively with people | Why is this important?(20-50 words) |
---|---|
Listening to requests | Being a part of the same team where other two members involved in serious conflict, it would be obvious to have better knowledge about the incident occurred. And any request would therefore, help in resolving the conflict more effectively. |
Clarifying meaning | This would help the supervisor in understanding the real meaning and accordingly take actions. |
Responding appropriately | The team member showed ethical responsibility towards the care home by taking initiatives to resolve the team conflict |
Exchanges information in a timely manner | For reducing instances which can end up in causing misunderstanding or confusion |
Respects confidentiality procedures | Doing so would help in safeguarding entrusted information thereby preventing chances of bad reputation in the overall aged care sector. |
B: Read CareShore’s communication protocols again in Appendix 1, and in your own words, explain why Daniel will use a memo over another form of communication, to arrange the team discussion. (20-50 words)
Communication methods to avoid, defuse and resolve conflict situations: |
---|
1) Determining and addressing root causes behind the conflict by probing both of them and showing concern would play an essential role. |
2) Conflict in most of the case is the result of opposing viewpoints. With this, it would become inevitable to reduce personal difference and for this, significance of viewpoints of both the parties needs to be communicated (Gilin Oore, Leiter & LeBlanc, 2015). |

3) Unhappy with one another | Staying calm and professional thereby taking initiatives to sort out misunderstandings |
4) Criticizing in absence of the person | Communicating directly with the person and showing signs of active listening. |
