The worst situation that could happen besides the bankruptcy of your business is dispute led by your employees. There are a lot of situations that could lead to dispute. Wage increase that the employees are requesting but the management has failed to give, new policies that employees deem to be unfair, firing of a certain employee who won the sympathy of his co-workers and several others.

Dispute sometimes affect the business where it could lead to temporary shutdown of the company that could affect the profit. On the other hand, it could affect the employees involved leaving them unemployed with no source of income to survive.

It is important that the management should mediate and control the dispute to prevent grave effects especially to the profit of the business. The management should exert effort to determine the root cause of the dispute. It is not a wise move to blame everything on the employees and implement disciplinary actions immediately. The deciding body of the company should ask questions such as: What led to the specific serious action? Is the management responsible for something? Is there something that the management failed to do? From the answers to these questions, the deciding body must determine the wisest action to implement.

It is just normal that among the employees you have in your business there will be at least one person that will have an outstanding performance, dedication as well as an admirable work attitude. Of course, these people are those which are often given commendations, the chance to be the one to hold and be a part of harder and more challenging projects and opportunities.

However, as a part of the management, it is important that no matter how good the performance of your employee is, you should maintain the equality and fairness among all your employees. Not being able to do so could lead to inharmonious relationship among your employees – something that could affect the productivity of your employees and worse, it could lead to conspiracy of other employees against the specific employee; sometimes, it could also degrade the integrity of your management.

It is important that some commendations such as higher compensation should remain confidential. This is the reason why it is usually a policy that every employee should not show his pay slip to anyone. On the other hand, the treatment you give to other employees should remain fair and see to it that you will not make them feel that you favor a particular employee over everybody else.
