Annoying co-worker? Can’t stand your boss? Personality clash at work? Feeling harassed? Tension with family members at work?
Relationships are particularly strained at the moment because people are trying to manage various challenges and emotions are high. So how can HR help with managing conflict?
Well for one, HR tends to be the first point of contact for an aggrieved employee to listen and provide a possible solution.
Over the last few weeks, I’ve been mediating between a family run business as they have had a variety of issues facing them recently. Tensions are at an all-time high, so they got in touch for some help as they couldn’t work out a way forward themselves.
Does mediation work? 🤔
From experience, in about 95% cases yes mediation has helped, it’s stopped people leaving the business as we have worked out a way to resolve the issue and move forward. In a few cases, where the relationship breakdown is beyond repair, individuals have left the company and that has been the right thing for everyone.
Mediation is an excellent informal way to resolve conflict with the help of someone impartial. If you need help to have a happier workplace, please get in touch and we can support with mediation.
Common examples of situations where workplace mediation works are:
🌟 personality clashes
🌟 communication breakdowns
🌟 relationship breakdown within a team
🌟 bullying and harassment
Sometimes all you need to do is talk it through and have someone listen to you! 😀
