Conflict, bullying and harassment can destroy the foundations of the most enterprising organisations.

Bullying is now a key complaint received by HR departments. Destructive conflict creates stress, which can lead to poor morale and performance, increased staff turnover and an overall decline in organisational effectiveness.
The good news is destructive conflict can be reduced – but this is a sensitive issue, requiring managers to call on tried and tested techniques.
