Tell me about a time when you had to resolve a conflict between team members in a distribution center. How did you address the conflict?

Once, I encountered a conflict between two team members in a distribution center. The conflict arose from a miscommunication regarding the allocation of resources. To address the issue, I invited both team members to a private meeting to understand their perspectives. I listened actively, allowing each person to express their concerns without judgment. After understanding the root cause of the conflict, I facilitated a constructive conversation where both parties could express their needs and find common ground. I encouraged them to share ideas on how to improve the situation and find a solution that would benefit the entire team. By actively mediating the discussion and ensuring mutual respect, I guided them towards a resolution. Ultimately, they were able to work collaboratively and resolve their differences, which improved team morale and productivity.
