Opposing positions in workplace conflicts have become entrenched, says Acas
OPPOSING positions in workplace conflicts have become more entrenched, conciliation service Acas said today.
The service said its collective conciliation remains highly rated, but added that those involved in conflicts are increasingly unsure how to resolve the issues.
Declining negotiation skills, lack of experience of handling collective conflict, increasingly polarised starting positions and challenging economic and political factors have all contributed to an increase in requests for Acas’s help, it reported.
