Content: While workers could quit a job they deemed unfair, they were often unlikely to fare better elsewhere. In the early 19th century, mass numbers of workers formed together and used their collective powers to force employers to treat workers more fairly. Function
One of the main benefits of maintaining fairness in the workplace is to avoid and manage conflict. Conflict in the workplace can increase absenteeism and decrease productivity. Workers who perceive their work environment as unfair will develop toxic working relationships over time. They may become distrustful of managers and even act territorial, lashing out at coworkers who they perceive as a threat. In extreme cases, the mismanagement of workplace conflict can lead to allegations of creating a hostile work environment. In such cases, conflict resolution can be extremely costly. 00:00
