Effective conflict management practices within the workplace include an organizational culture encompassed with procedures to preclude conflict as much as possible. For conflicts that cannot be avoided, it is best practice to deal with these conflicts promptly and equitably when an issue arises that employees cannot resolve amongst themselves.

The difference between constructive criticism and constructive feedback is that criticism focuses almost entirely on the problem or the issue. Feedback focuses on recognizing the problem and then working with the recipient to come up with ways to resolve these issues.

1. Address issues immediately and openly

2. Set clear expectations

3. Actively listen to all who are involved

4. Use neutral terms and open body language

5. Recognize and respect personal differences
