Conflict happens between people or groups of people who feel that another person or group is blocking their needs or not enabling them to express their views in the workplace. The CIPD survey found that the most common causes of conflict are differences in personality styles or working practices.
Conflict is more likely to happen when people feel they have lost or are losing something whether that is respect, status in the workplace or particularly if they feel their job is under threat.
In this episode, we are joined by qualified workplace mediator Louise Rance, to explain what workplace conflict is, what the most common causes of conflict in the workplace are and to provide you with the right tools on how to deal with it.

Sexual harassment is defined as unwelcome behaviour of a sexual nature, that violates someone’s dignity, and makes them feel intimidated, humiliated or degraded.
Sexual harassment in the workplace is a longstanding issue, which has been rightfully brought to the forefront in recent years. Harassment, including sexual harassment that relates to any protected characteristic is illegal under the 2010 Equality Act. As an employer you must ensure that you are doing all you can within your workplace to prevent sexual harassment from happening.
In this episode, we will help you to identify sexual harassment within the workplace, teach you how to deal with it, how to support the victims and how to prevent it from happening within your business.

Wellbeing is so much more than just being ‘healthy’, it includes not only physical fitness but mental and social wellbeing too.
Desk based working can discourage an active lifestyle, and long periods of inactivity can store up a host of potential health problems such as heart disease, diabetes, certain cancers and may contribute to increased rates of mortality.
A healthy workforce is a productive and happy workforce which can lead to improved morale and engagement and it can decrease sickness absence. As an employer, manager or as a member of your team you can play a part in encouraging employees to be more active at work.
In this episode, we will be discussing why wellbeing should be a key priority for employers, how you can encourage your employees to be more active and how you can look after your and your employees mental health.

Stress is a state of mental health that affects all of us at some point during our lives, and specifically, during our working life.
We know that for many of us, work is a primary cause of stress and with many of us spending the majority of our time at work, it is important that our workplaces are mentally healthy and that support is available if needed. If untreated, stress can lead to prolonged periods of employee absence at work, which in effect can have a huge impact on your business, from turnover and productivity to morale and engagement.
In this episode, we will be discussing the impact that stress has on you as an individual and how you can manage and reduce it as well as spotting the signs of stress amongst your employees.

You wouldn’t question a First Aider in the workplace to handle physical health issues, so why would handle Mental Health issues differently?
In 2018/19 work related stress, anxiety or depression accounted for 44% of all work-related ill health, and 54% of all working days lost to ill health.
This isn’t a new issue, its been prevalent for years but has been heightened by the recent pandemic.
1 in 5 (21%) of adults experienced some form of depression in early 2021; this is more than double pre- pandemic, so it is more crucial than ever that we understand the importance of supporting the mental health of our people, particularly in the workplace.
Joined by a qualified Mental Health First Aider, we answer a number of questions to gain an insight and discuss the role of a MHFA as well as the importance of having on within the workplace.
