Conceptualizing of Workplace Harmony in Organization

Abstract

Workplace harmony refers to a friendly and cooperative agreement on working relationships between employers and employees for their mutual benefit (Laden, 2012). It is chiefly concerned with the peace and tranquility that exist in the workplace with respect to the terms and conditions of employment and the workplace at large. In effect, it is a situation where employees and management cooperate willingly in pursuit of the organization’s aims and objectives with peace, love and unity. Maintaining workplace harmony should be a key focus of every organization. Conflict in the workplace can lead to behaviours such as bullying, harassment and discrimination. Staff can lack motivation, fail to work as a team and be generally unhappy (Vince, 2018).
