Unresolved conflict at work can severely disrupt communication, performance and employee job satisfaction. It can also be expensive in terms of productivity and legal fees. Many organisations are now turning to workplace mediation as a pragmatic approach to dealing with conflict and as an alternative to going down the route of a grievance procedure. Mediation provides an opportunity for those experiencing conflict at work to identify the issues, explore options and reach a workable outcome through a clearly agreed set of actions.

In unionised situations employers must work and negotiate with trade union representatives to bring about change that will help the organisation survive and grow. Consultation with elected representatives and individual negotiations may be required in non-unionised workplaces. How do you achieve a lasting, workable solution? How can you minimise redundancies AND maximise your chances of economic survival?
