It’s common for conflict management issues to arise between colleagues or team members. Business mediation provides an excellent approach to peacefully resolving these issues.
Conflicts in the workplace can be expensive for employers, with a staggering cost of £32 billion pounds annually in lost working days.
Business mediation provides a cost-effective and efficient process for resolving disputes involving staff, managers, or directors. It offers a more informal and satisfactory alternative to disciplinary actions, grievance procedures, or dismissals. This is particularly important to consider if there is a possibility of having to present your case at an employment tribunal.
This is where Roger Levitt comes in.
As a dedicated business mediator, his aim is to provide dispute resolution for businesses without resorting to formal legal procedures. With over 35 years of experience in workplace mediation services, he has successfully achieved positive outcomes in conflict management across all levels of the business hierarchy.
Resolving conflict with workplace mediation services
According to the CIPD Report on Managing Conflict in the Modern Workplace, a survey of employees revealed that 35% had encountered some form of interpersonal conflict within the past year, whether it was an isolated dispute or ongoing difficult relationships.
While many companies and organisations have grievance policies in place for employees to address conflicts, this approach often fails to address the underlying causes of the conflict.
This can further polarise the parties involved, fostering a culture of blame and litigation.
In the unfortunate event that an employee takes a case to an Employment Tribunal, the average cost for an employer dealing with such a case amount to £20,000.
However, the costs of unresolved conflict extend beyond mere financial implications. They also result in decreased performance, increased absenteeism, and a decline in employee well-being, and pose a threat to business effectiveness, reputation, customer experience, teamwork, and competitive advantage.
