Conflict has long been one of the most common – and costly – HR issues. When left unresolved, it often escalates into grievances, whistleblowing, Employment Tribunal claims, and reputational damage.
To address this, our sister company, WorkNest, recently hosted a free webinar exploring how to manage conflict before it becomes a problem. The session examined why effective conflict management is so crucial, the legal and organisational risks of leaving issues unresolved, and how mediation can play a key role in de-escalating tensions. With four fictional case studies to help you respond appropriately when faced with common conflict scenarios.

According to WorkNest’s survey, a staggering 47% of grievances stem from workplace conflict.
Workplace conflict is a serious, complex issue that requires proactive management — especially now. Economic pressures, organisational changes, heavier workloads, and personal stress can all wear down patience and tolerance, turning minor grievances into formal complaints.
In this free guide, we will help you to understand the best approach to common conflict scenarios. We’ll explore a range of strategies, including early interventions and how to streamline formal grievance processes, so you feel more confident handling conflict next time it arises.
