Mediation in the Workplace
At work — and in conflict?
Conflict is costly.
- Petty disagreements escalate
- Bullying is commonplace
- Creativity and productivity decrease
- Health and safety suffers
- Absenteeism increases
- Conflict leads to job losses
You don't have to go on suffering from any of this or from low self-esteem. By referral to Out of Conflict, issues can be brought to the attention of the other party with a view to mediating them in a carefully structured and appropriate way. This may enable you to regain your workplace relationships as well as your self-esteem, which is rarely the outcome of litigation or of invoking union involvement in conflict at work. Establishing the right ethos can deal with disagreements constructively.
HR managers are increasingly resorting to cost-effective mediation for resolving conflict. Out of Conflict provides professional and efficient dispute resolution.
If you are in dispute with a colleague or a client, a customer or a provider of services or goods — whether in the Public or Private sector — and legal or disciplinary action has not progressed too far, mediation is the most productive way forward.
Bullying between staff is rife in the public and private sectors. The Bully OnLine website receives most enquiries from Education and Health Sector employees.
Out of Conflict is more productive than being in conflict at work.
