Conflict of idea’s: Is when two (or more) people find themselves in disagreement with other staff members over different ideas based around the work place, may it be on how to do certain tasks, how to tackle a certain issue or problem or how a task or idea should be completed. This can lead to a falling out between the staff or can make an better idea or method to be developed.
Question Two – Why is it important to resolve conflict in the workplace?

Question Three - What steps should be taken to resolve a conflict?
The following steps should to be taken to help resolve the conflict within the workplace, but the amount of staff involved will help determine the setting of how the conflict will be resolved. If it’s between a certain staff members then it should be done in a private setting with only those directly involved present but if on a wide scale then it should be done in a public/group setting; The steps the be taken are as followers;

Question Four – Why should conflicts and their outcomes be documented and reported on? What should be done do with the data collected?
Data should be collected when a conflict arises with the outcome also stated the reason why this should be done is for any necessary legal compliance or just simply because it is established within the companies business policy/s, plus if the conflict worsens there is documentary evidence of attempts to resolve the conflict. The documentation should be stored the employee's staff file, it would also be wise for you to keep a copy of the documentation yourself.
Question Five – Describe the advantages of working in a team and how that can assist in resolving conflict.
When working in a team/ team environment it can help create stronger working relationship between staff, healthy competition is a good way to put it. With that it will help staff members grow/develop into better works and team workers, hence it will help create a better standard of food/work through out the builder so help build a more positive work place for everyone. This can help resolve conflict by staff being more open with one another help stopping tempers grow on any issue and be spoken about openly, will help staff speak more freely to help create ideas so there is never just or two ideas which can cause heads butting. Staff will be aiming for that one goal of a successful service period and will stop sabotage between front/back of house who may try to get the other team into trouble by management.
Quesiton Six - Why do employees need to understand legislative requirements and organizational policies and procedures?
Employees need to understand the legislative requirements and the organizational policies and procedures so that they know what is expected of them in the workplace in a legal sense and on a business standard level. This is to help stop any anti social behavior in the work place such as bullying, staff will also know how to deal with any issues that arise and how those issues will be dealt.
Question Seven - What action should be taken to determine whether a customer or a colleague is satisfied with a complaint resolution?
There is a few ways to determine if a customer or colleague is satisfied with the the complaint resolution;
