£4000 fisticuffs!
I went on a conflict management workshop this month. Which you might think is a bit strange, considering that a lot of my business comes from when conflict doesn’t get resolved. But believe me, I would have enough to do without sorting out playground fights!
That became clear when Marc went through the amount of time and money usually involved in dealing with a grievance/tribunal claim. Adjusting for small businesses, you are talking about at least £4000 worth of time, energy and hassle of managers, advisors and possibly lawyers to get it resolved. Not to mention the lack of work being done by those who are aggrieved!
