What do you do if your team members are constantly arguing and causing tension in the workplace?

Well, this situation is really disturbing for everyone and everything in the workplace. This issue is inevitable so to properly control the situation you need to follow the steps. 1. First you need to fully understand the problem why things are happening in a certain way. There might be any cause or multiple causes such as financial, mental, or any other which are harming the decorum. So give respect to all the perspectives and assess the whole scenario.

Facilitate open communication, address underlying issues, establish clear expectations, promote empathy, and encourage teamwork and conflict resolution strategies.

Dealing with constant arguing and tension among team members in the workplace can be challenging but it's important to assess the situation and address the problem as soon as possible to prevent it from escalating further. Take the time to understand the underlying reasons for the conflicts and tension within the team and develop clear guidelines for communication and behavior within the team to help promote a peaceful resolution.

Your team members are your mirrors, that means by the laws of the systems that you have your inner conflict yourself, they are just showing that to you so you need to pay attention and start acting on that. Then it is great to talk to them (scheduling a meeting) or it might be better to have a personal conversation (depends on the company and business environment and rules), to find out what can bother them. The team is a reflection of the leader or a boss/owner. For example, if the boss hates the project but need only money then the team would have conflicts because most probably the people are not enjoying the work process either. So, conversations are always good but also it is important to pay attention to the leader too.

In a situation where team members are constantly arguing, it's important to address the issue promptly. Open communication is key; consider organizing a meeting where everyone can voice their concerns in a controlled environment. It's also beneficial to establish clear team goals and roles to reduce misunderstandings. If tensions persist, involving a neutral third party, like a mediator or HR representative, could help resolve conflicts. Remember, the goal is to foster a collaborative and respectful work environment.

Desde o inicio do trabalho e de qualquer conversa é importante que todos saibam e tenham conhecimento dos limites estabelecidos. Comunicação acertiva e escuta ativa é importante para a solução de conflitos.

Após ouvir as partes e entender o que acontece, o proximo passo, é encontrar uma solução para o problema, mediação de conflitos pode ser um pouco complicado mas é possivel .

Take a good look at the culture. If you have arrived at the point where staff members are openly arguing, the train went off the track a long time ago. You must take drastic measures to reestablish a trusting and supportive culture. These actions can include new management, assessing staff members ability to transfer to other units, and termination if no other course will be appropriate. Safety of all involved must be taken into consideration. Also please include all staff members in the review and solutions that are created.
