While many people enjoy a fireworks show at this time of year, not so welcome are “fireworks” in the workplace.

Whether it is the Catherine Wheel that has everyone going round in circles; the Banger holding in a grievance and suddenly exploding; or even the damp squib who may not go off but still causes conflict through constant negativity, there are numerous scenarios through which disputes arise.

Every business should have a disciplinary and grievance policy, and following this consistently is important. Often a first step will be seeing if a matter can be resolved informally. If not, you proceed with the more structured process. Interestingly, whether you go down the informal or formal path, mediation may be the most effective resolution. In our latest blog, we explore how to effectively manage workplace disputes: https://www.hrdept.co.uk/knowledge-hub/blog/do-you-have-a-natural-mediator-in-your-business
