All About People

In a rapidly evolving employment landscape, workplace conflict remains a pressing issue for organisations across the UK. As highlighted by the Chartered Institute for Personnel and Development (CIPD) in their September 2024 update, this concern continues to be a major focus for HR professionals. Their latest suite of resources—including podcasts, articles, and training programmes—covers essential topics such as:

• Bullying and harassment
• UK employment law
• Discrimination and conflict management

You can explore these valuable resources via the CIPD’s Focus on Workplace Conflict page.

The changing legal landscape: What employers need to know

Building on these discussions, I recently authored a blog post titled "Navigating the New Era of Employment Law: How AAP Can Support Your Organisation," where I delve into the anticipated changes brought about by the UK government’s new Employment Bill. This legislation has the potential to significantly shift the workplace environment in favour of employees. With an increased emphasis on collaboration between employers, unions, and the government, these changes aim to reduce workplace conflict, mitigate strike actions, and create more harmonious working conditions.
