The workplace can be an especially stressful environment. Personal conflicts between coworkers fear of layoffs and heavy workloads can be causes of negative stress. This stress can be carried to our homes and after-work activities impacting personal health. Allowing these stressors to build and intensify will only further impair the work environment. For this assignment you are required to review a scenario regarding a woman (Kate) who has experienced negative stress stemming from her work environment. Then you will compare your own conflict management skills and experiences against Kates experiences. Follow the directions below to write an 810-page report on conflict management.
Review the following scenario:
Kate has been employed by a well-known manufacturing company for 12 years. She is the only female on her line and the fastest worker. She has been promoted several times through mergers and acquisitions but has always been looked over for a senior management position. Kate believes she is qualified for advancement but thinks her manager has a problem with her personally. To top it off Kate did not receive a semiannual or annual review which would have resulted in a raise. Her coworkers (all males) have urged her to go to management and report what she believes to be discriminatory behavior from her immediate manager.
Now complete the following tasks:
