What is a disruption in the workplace?
A disruption in the workplace is any event, behaviour, or situation that interrupts the normal flow of work and impacts productivity, morale, or collaboration. In healthcare, this could look like interpersonal conflicts between team members, miscommunication during high-stakes situations, or even systemic issues like unclear policies or leadership changes. These disruptions don’t just slow things down—they can compromise patient care, which raises the stakes even higher. At iRISE, we guide healthcare leaders and teams to identify the root causes of conflict, rebuild trust, and create systems that prevent future disruptions.
