A Practical Guide to Conflict, Disruption, and Violence Prevention
The workplace conflicts that cause the most damage rarely look like emergencies. They look like a raised voice that HR lets slide. A bully whose behavior gets explained away. A struggling employee no one checks on. Individually, each seems manageable. Together, they create conditions for escalation.
