A workforce voice that works for your business
Without a workforce voice, misinterpretations, inappropriate patterns of behaviour and missed opportunities for continual improvement and growth become the norm.
In an economic climate of inflation and uncertainty, open communication channels are vital. The Opt for Learning practical approach can help your organisation embed a workforce voice that works for your business.
For any business seeking to embed channels for rewarding dialogue with employees, to explore views, ideas and resolve practical difficulties, especially important in a time of high uncertainty.
For more insight on the employee voice you can read a blog piece by our Director, Coreen Nugent in HR Director here.

Resolving workplace conflict early and informally
Frequently off the shelf, to meet statutory requirements, an organisational grievance procedure can be a sparse offering; little help to managers trying to build healthy relationships and prevent the cost of escalating workplace conflict.
Mediation, conflict coaching, facilitated meetings and staff development initiatives can, however, help prevent low-level workplace conflict degenerating further. Opt for Learning offer a variety of interventions, adaptable to different circumstances, to rebuild working relationships.
For Human Resource professionals, leaders, managers and supervisors seeking to reduce the risk of workplace conflict.
