Addressing the Silent Crisis of Workplace Conflict
The belief that employees feel comfortable speaking up about workplace conflict doesn’t always align with reality. A recent report from the CIPD highlights that 47% of employees let workplace conflict slide, while only 29% feel comfortable discussing these issues with managers or HR.
This silence is a concern as unresolved conflicts can impact job satisfaction, mental health, and even lead to staff turnover.
This article from Raconteur looks at how HR and leadership can create an environment where employees feel safe to speak up.
Creating a safe space for employees to express their concerns is not just about policy - it's about culture. We need to create workplaces where everyone feels heard and valued.
