Micro-Conflicts: Too Small to Report, Too Difficult to Resolve

…too small to report, too difficult to resolve.

Workplace conflict is bleeding organizations dry, costing over 50 billion dollars annually across Australia, the UK, and the USA in lost productivity. Yet, the root of this costly issue isn’t major disputes or legal cases—it’s the thousands of unresolved minor spats or micro-conflicts that happen daily. These micro-conflicts are too small to report formally yet still too difficult to resolve without the right tools. They simmer under the surface, with their unresolved nature quietly driving up costs. These seemingly minor issues disrupt workflows, strain relationships, and chip away at team morale and collaboration, ultimately leading to significant productivity losses across the organization.

So what’s the solution?

We believe the answer lies in empowering team members with the tools to address and resolve these micro-conflicts at their source—before they escalate into costly reported incidents. Resolving minor spats in real time not only saves organizations money but also creates a healthier, more respectful workplace environment.
