How can you encourage employees to report conflicts to their supervisor?
I have found that relationship development is a key factor. The current temperature of the work force is in desperate need of the "why". Once the relationship is developed the comport to ask the question "why" is easier for both parties. The employee feels as though they have value and not just to do what the boss says.
