Conflict Resolution at Work

Everyone has experienced conflict at some point in their daily lives, but what do you do when conflict arises at work?

Many of you have been working from home.  Many of you have hated it. Many of you have loved it.

Many of you are Managers and HR Teams struggling to entice your work force out of the home!

Many of you love your work but don't want to go back to the commute to the work place with all that entails.

Home or hybrid work are alternatives to the commute and office but its not always possible to get what you want and optimise people and organisational potential if there is a …."this is what it is ….. take it or leave it"

There is always a "win win" position for all parties and in the work place the increasing use of Mediators over the past 10 years has proved that Teams at work perform better when everyone owns their own solutions to work based issues.  This is especially so now with the abolition of the Furlough Scheme and the Big Return about to happen.

Are you happy about going back.  Are your staff happy about coming back?

Mediators help parties find solutions to the problems in the Work Place by allowing you to find your own solutions, not solutions imposed by others, but your solution.  It is their solution. A solution and a way forward that the parties can adhere to and agree to because it's your own solution facilitated by the Mediator.

Workplace conflict can take many forms and not just return to work fears and worries. They include, employee grievances, disputes between a manager and an employee or simply a personality clash between colleagues.

As well as being stressful and unpleasant for anyone involved, if left unaddressed workplace conflict can also be very costly to a business. It can take people’s focus away from their day-to-day work, can result in employees leaving, or can even result in an employment tribunal claim being made.

Recognising conflict and taking early action like mediation to resolve it can save time, money and stress, and also avoid potentially costly disputes developing.

While businesses often have formal policies and procedures in place to deal with workplace disputes (such as a grievance procedure), some situations may be better suited to a less formal approach to resolving matters. For example, personality clashes are often difficult to sort out using grievance processes.
