2. Outline a conflict resolution policy that covers the types of conflicts mentioned, including steps for reporting, investigation, and resolution.
3. Incorporate the company's values to ensure fairness and transparency throughout the process.
4. Draft specific language for the policy, making it clear and actionable for employees and managers.
