Changes in policy on dealing with workplace conflict has meant that there is greater onus for organisations to resolve conflict themselves internally and at an earlier stage. However for this to succeed organisation cultures also need to change in a way that makes it possible to challenge and hold each other to account, and to do so without undue risk of creating damaging relationship conflict.

It gives a representative view of how UK employees experience conflict at work and how this conflict plays out within the organisation.
