Managing Disputes

What are workplace disputes?

Workplace disputes are broad. They refer to various conflicts and issues that can arise in workplaces among employees and employers. It can be a one-time conflict, but may also escalate into serious and legal problems. Managing disputes can happen informally within a workplace through verbal and unrecorded meetings between you and your employee, and possibly an internal HR manager. 

Why do disputes occur? 

 The disputes may occur due to:

  • Wrongful behavior by an employee, bullying, harassment between employees
  • Redundancy process
  • Grievance raised or held against you from an employee
  • Dismissal of an employee
