Conflict in the workplace is a perennial problem for organizations. Whether it's a disagreement between colleagues, a dispute with management or large-scale industrial action, conflict negatively affects both people and profits as employee morale and productivity fall. Endorsed by the CIPD, Managing Conflict is an essential guide for HR professionals needing to tackle these problems by not only resolving current issues, but also preventing future instances of conflict. Going beyond interpersonal conflict, the book also looks at resolving board room disputes, disputes with shareholders, in the supply chain, commercial disputes and customer complaints. The first part of Managing Conflict covers the causes and costs of conflict, the impact of the psychological contract and the legal framework for managing workplace disputes both in the UK and internationally. The second part of the book provides a blueprint for redefining resolution and building a culture of constructive conflict management, from designing a conflict management strategy and developing a formal resolution process to embedding mediation, engaging stakeholders and training managers in resolution and mediation skills. This book also includes conflict resolution toolkits for managers, HR teams, employees and unions to help tackle conflict and bullying at work. Packed with best practice case studies from major UK and global organizations, this is an indispensable guide for all HR professionals looking to resolve conflict in the workplace. Online supporting resources include a conflict health check tool, conflict cost calculator, and checklist for developing an internal mediation scheme.

Workplace mediation is becoming an increasingly popular dispute resolution method to settle interpersonal employee conflicts, including harassment and bullying complaints. There is a direct ratio between the quality of relationships across the workplace and long-term effectiveness and success. Mediation addresses complex relationship difficulties head-on so that working relationships can be restored. Fostering a philosophy of mediation as a culture and a "co-entrepreneurial" business model, Doherty and Guyler consider what mediation is, why it is necessary and how it works, including the main principles of operation and the 6-step structure of a mediation meeting. They analyze the reasons for conflict and suggest useful everyday communication skills to help defuse anger or aggression. Real case studies look at specific complaints of bullying, of sexual harassment and of racism, generational conflicts within family businesses and boardroom conflicts between chairmen and CEOs.

Ideally, the workplace should be an environment free from worry and stress, where employees can feel safe, comfortable, welcome, able to get creative juices flowing, stay motivated, and be efficient and productive. However, most of us don't actually think of our offices this way. If we did, we would never dread going to work, and we wouldn't try to negotiate working from home occasionally. Often, the thing that prevents us from feeling more positive about our workplace is the stress and conflict we experience with co-workers. It's sometimes harder to get along with office folk than say, school mates or people from the gym or church, since we don't have the luxury of choosing who we work with. We are stuck with whoever happens to work there too, unlike other social settings where we choose those close to us based on our similarities and common interests. The good news is, through better understanding and a little strategy; workplace conflict can be resolved and altogether eliminated. Throughout this book, I'm going to show you how to mediate conflicts and easily arrive at amicable solutions acceptable to all parties. More importantly, you will learn how to conflict-proof your workplace to prevent conflicts before they have a chance to get out of hand. If you are ready to take the first step to creating a stress-free and productive workplace, then let's get started!
