If you have employees who are in conflict with each other, how involved do you get in resolving their issue(s)?

People & Leadership

Very involved - It's part of my job as a leader to coach employees through interpersonal issues

Somewhat involved - I'll make an initial attempt to resolve the issues, but if they persist I'll bring in HR

Not involved at all - It's safest to bring in HR to mediate whenever employees have interpersonal issues

How do you sustain motivation among staff who have hit their salary caps?

People & Leadership

Oluwatayo OkorieSupply Chain Thought Leader in Healthcare and Biotech3 months ago

It’s complicated but team members are well aware of the upcoming cliffs, if no promo on sight then they switch the teams. Providing a good stock option would be great or allow them to change the location.
