How To Resolve A Conflict With A Co-Worker

How can I resolve a conflict with a co-worker?

The most important thing to remember about conflicts with co-workers is that they're inevitable, they're going to happen to all of us sooner or later and the best thing to do is to be prepared for them. If you engage in some kind of conflict or something arises with a co-worker and you're not able to let it just blow over, the best thing to do is to confront the co-worker face-to-face in a calm and friendly manner, address the issue and see if the two of you can work it out. If you can't work it out, then you have several opportunities available to you. You can speak to your supervisor or the other person's supervisor, you can also take your issue to human resources and you can even take it to the employee assistance people if you have that kind of department within your company. There are certainly a number of different types of mediation and arbitration types of scenarios available to you.
