The management of conflict at work is not easy. It is costly and time consuming and can lead to a drop in productivity and customer service, as well as increased stress levels, employee turnover and leave of absence through sick leave.
Mediation in the workplace is quick, does not affect the statutory rights of employers or employees, saves money and can help prevent conflicts arising in the future. |
