Conflict Management and Resolution
Workplace conflict can be difficult and uncomfortable to deal with, however the longer a conflict persists, the more complex and problematic it becomes. By knowing and utilising the appropriate strategies for different situations, you can resolve conflict in an effective and timely manner. We can advise you on the best course of action for your situation - whether it be a minor dispute or an incident that warrants investigation - and assist you through the resolution process.
When an allegation of bullying, discrimination, harassment or other inappropriate workplace behaviour is made, it is critical that your organisation responds swiftly. Click the link above to learn more about our workplace investigation services.
Workplace Reviews
In some workplace settings, underlying tensions or perceptions of mistrust can subtly impact employee engagement and performance. When a formal grievance has not been lodged, pro-active measures, such as a Workplace Review, can provide a constructive avenue to understand the issue by providing employees with the opportunity to voice concerns to an independent third party. If workplace conflict is inhibiting employee performance in your organisation, please contact us to discuss strategies for resolution.
We can provide support and advice to your organisation should you be required to respond to an allegation of unfair dismissal or other claim by an employee or former employee.
Should you require assistance in this area please contact Gavn Cooper for advice specific to your circumstances on 0427 973 306 or via email at gavan@cooperhardiman.com.au.
