Drama

In an HR context, “drama” typically refers to interpersonal conflicts and emotional upheaval within the workplace. This can manifest as misunderstandings, gossip, or disputes among employees that disrupt team dynamics and productivity. Drama can stem from various sources, including differences in personality, competition for resources, or unresolved issues. It often requires management intervention to resolve and may necessitate conflict resolution techniques, such as mediation or open communication strategies, to restore a harmonious work environment. Effective handling of workplace drama is crucial as it can impact employee morale, job satisfaction, and overall organizational health.
