Are your Line Managers equipped to mitigate workplace conflict?
In Adare’s latest workplace survey, the HR Barometer Series 8.1, a worrying trend had become apparent. In 2023, 74% of Organisations reported experiencing workplace conflict with 35% of issues related to bullying, harassment or sexual harassment.
This increase has financial implications for businesses, incurring costs related to management’s time in addressing issues. Organisations are reporting a 54% increase in the time HR dedicates to managing complaints. To address problems with workplace conflict, Organisations should focus on upskilling line management to enable effective early intervention that can help resolve both performance and interpersonal issues before they have wider HR implications.
Dignity at Work – Anti-Bullying, Anti-Harassment and Sexual Harassment Policy Training
Adare ensure all our retained client Organisations have policies in place to ensure compliance with the Employment Equality Acts, 1998-2015.
Did you know, Organisations are expected under the IHREC Code of Practice on Sexual Harassment and Harassment at Work:
- To foster a culture that supports a healthy working environment free from harassment
- To train managers, supervisors and all staff on strategies to prevent harassment. This is especially important for those members of staff primarily responsible for implementing the policy and processing complaints
Adare, are offering bespoke training workshops for Employees and People Leaders within Organisations in Anti-Harassment, Anti-Sexual Harassment and Anti-Bullying.
