Written by Richard Birke | Aug 28, 2025 12:20:34 PM

Resolving work conflict happens. People don’t always agree—and that’s okay. What matters is how we handle it. Learning how to resolve conflict at work can improve teamwork, communication, and trust.

Whether you're a team member or a manager, you don’t need to face conflict alone. JAMS Pathways offers expert help to guide your workplace through tough conversations and build better communication.

In his recent article for Contact Center Pipeline, "Navigating Workplace Conflicts", Richard Birke, Chief Architect of JAMS Pathways, explores how unchecked conflict not only disrupts workflow, but deeply impacts morale, retention, and the overall psychological safety of a team.

“Conflict is not inherently bad,” Birke writes. “In fact, it often signals the need for change, clarity, or deeper connection. The challenge is how we respond.”
