The political landscape is heating up with debates and discussions across the UK, as the #GeneralElections2024 fast approaches. There are lessons in #mediation and #leadership that can be learnt here, namely the power of genuine discussion. Read more: thetcmgroup.com/2024/06/25/pre…

Managers need to get better equipped to de-escalate and resolve conflicts in their teams, says @worklife_news. How well trained are the managers in your biz? @david_liddle #mediation

Workers may increasingly feel unable to #strike because of growing household debt, says this article in @ConversationUK. Do you think this will be a factor in ending #industrialaction? bit.ly/3Y2juWj #StrikeWatch #unions #HR #costofliving

Thank you to @TPShub for publishing my article on how #HR can better tackle industrial unrest. One of the issues I discuss is how well equipped HR people feel, given it may be the first time many have seen #strike action of this magnitude. bit.ly/3weuN1D #unions

#StrikeWatch 450,000 working days lost to #strike action in November, reports @SkyNews. That's more than in any month since November 2011. We cannot afford to let this avalanche of #industrialunrest continue. bit.ly/3iINJTc #unions #HR #industrialrelations

#StrikeWatch How #unions and #employers in #highereducation could work together to improve the sector's #industrialrelations record. Interesting read in this @FT article. on.ft.com/3H8nEGj #industrialunrest #disputes #strikes #HR #mediation #collaboration

#StrikeWatch Thanks to @hrmagazine for including my comments in this article about the new #strike legislation, where I emphasize the importance of third party #mediation. #unions #resolution #industrialrelations #HR #employeerelations

#StrikeWatch @BBCNews reporting little progress on today's talks between #government and #unions. It is when situations are at their most intractable, that keeping dialogue open becomes even more important bbc.in/3XgKGjv #industrialrelations #HR #NHS #strikes

#StrikeWatch @BBCNews reporting on #government plans to introduce anti-strike measures. What's your view? Is this necessary - or is there another way? bbc.in/3vCebAJ #unions #strikes #industrialrelations #industrialunrest #HR #mediation #disputeresolution

We resume our #StrikeWatch campaign with an optimistic article in @guardian, suggesting a solution to the #RailStrikes could be imminent. Dialogue is key in resolving any #industrialrelations dispute. bit.ly/3vDmKLo #HR #unions #industrialaction

#StrikeWatch De-personalise the problem, listen, and walk towards rather than walk away. My advice in this month's @hrmagazine cover story on how #HR can build a positive relationship with the #unions bit.ly/3hqo7d8 #industrialrelations #strikes #employeerelations

Around 417,000 working days lost to strikes in October, reports @bbcnews. Our prediction at the beginning of this #StrikeWatch campaign that we are heading into a general strike now being echoed by many media commentators. #strikes #unions #industrialrelations #HR

#StrikeWatch Government under pressure to accelerate strike-busting legislation, reports @FT. What's your view? on.ft.com/3h7NfVO #industrialrelations #strikes #unions #employeerelations

#StrikeWatch. Health worker #unions say government has given its members no choice but to #strike. When situations appear to have reached an impasse, dialogue becomes more important than ever bbc.in/3iHC9ae @GMB_union @unitetheunion @unisontheunion @theRCN

#StrikeWatch More #industrialrelations stories over the weekend with Currys dropping Royal Mail and @RMTunion rejecting the RDG's offer. Early, proactive dialogue could have prevented so much of this. bbc.in/3urijmq #unions #strikes #resolution #mediation

#StrikeWatch day 9. Health workers may be planning to co-ordinate #strike action, reports @guardian bit.ly/3H30mlO. It is when positions become most entrenched that constructive dialogue becomes even more important. #industrialrelations #unions #HR
