In brief:

Conflict between staff and colleagues is an inevitable feature in any workplace, however getting to grips with management strategies in this area can be a challenging process for HR. Successfully handling conflict and resolving disputes can have multiple advantages for business performance - improved employee relationships, enhanced productivity and decreasing levels of absenteeism are all positive outcomes of effective dispute management. With the current overhaul of legislation in this area led by the Employment Bill reform and the continued support for mediation from the courts and tribunals it is essential for HR to keep abreast of developments in this area. Mediation requires many skills. Yet without the thinking behind the process as well as a strategic implementation plan, no company will be fully equipped to use this form of alternative dispute resolution to their full advantage.
