The circumstances in which services in dispute resolution can be so invaluable

Feb. 14, 2012 - PRLog -- As an employer, the possibility of workplace conflict is likely to be one of your greatest sources of anxiety. It seems that employees that had previously worked together with great synergy can so easily find themselves in dispute, over issues that can include anything and everything from claims of sexual harassment to perceived - or actual - inequality of opportunity. This is certainly not something that has gone unnoticed by HR specialists Employee Management Limited (http://www.employeemanagement.co.uk/), which is why the firm offers third party conflict resolution as one of its key employment law services.  
   
Whatever the precise cause of the friction that can arise between individuals in the workplace, there's certainly little doubt in the minds of most bosses of the damage that it can cause, with productivity swiftly falling and a lack of workplace bonding and team spirit quickly becoming evident. As for the causes, these can range from unfair treatment, poor management and insufficient training to unclear job roles, bullying and harassment, as well as a lack of communication. These situations can differ greatly on a case by case basis and demand very careful and skilful handling if tensions are not to be inflamed further.

Of course, having skills in mediation is a great help, particularly in that stage of the dispute resolution process that marks the transition from informality to formality. You may may feel that you have the ability in-house to resolve the impasse, whether that simply amounts to having a quiet word or turning to more formal, internal company procedures for dealing with grievances. Communication really is of the essence, as simply by talking and listening to employees, you can often diffuse tensions and clear the air.

Nonetheless, if the circumstances seem to demand the presence of an independent and impartial employment law professional with skills and experience in the provision of mediation services in order to help those in dispute to reach a solution which is best for the business, then you will appreciate the conflict resolution services that Employee Management Limited specialises in. Indeed, EML provides you with a means of professionally and discretely resolving situations of internal conflict, with all of the expertise that is required to manage even the most complicated of disciplinary and grievance situations, on your behalf.

By the time you get in touch with EML about dispute resolution services, the given conflict may have become very complex and protracted. It's why the firm's expert negotiators call upon all of their hard-earned experience of employment tribunals to carefully consider the nuances of each and every case. They are sensitive to the very different circumstances, emotions and perceptions that can define each conflict situation, and have a well-developed sense of what’s likely to be perceived as "fair" and “reasonable” by employment tribunals should matters escalate to that level, EML's professionals aim to quickly re-establish harmony and, in turn, productivity.

Contact Employee Management Limited (http://www.employeemanagement.co.uk/) about conflict resolution, and reduce the likelihood of expensive, time-consuming and stressful tribunals.
