How employers are tackling bullying and harassment at work
Research on whether employers are doing enough to prevent and manage conflict in the workplace
Research on whether employers are doing enough to prevent and manage conflict in the workplace
Are employers doing enough to prevent and manage bullying and harassment in the workplace? Our research found a clear gap between employers’ confidence in having the policies and procedures to handle conflict and employees’ confidence to take forward a complaint and seek resolution. Almost half (47%) of employees experiencing conflict at work reported that they ‘just let it go’ while less than a third (29%) discussed it with their manager and/or HR. So what can employers do?
This report examines data from employers and employees to assess the level of unhealthy conflict in UK workplaces and its impact on individuals and organisations. By understanding the current landscape and latest data the report makes recommendations for how organisations can improve their response to conflict in the workplace.
While these findings are based on UK data, the broader trends and implications should be of interest wherever you are based.
