		<description><![CDATA[When a dispute between employees becomes visible it usually falls to a manager to intervene but few are confident in doing this so they'll often ignore the conflict in the hope that it'll go away, downplay the seriousness of the disagreement, or approach it ineffectively.
Research by OPP charts the costs and benefits of conflict, and a guide  from CIPD identifies the behaviours that will help  managers recognise and proactively manage disputes at work. ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[My newsletter is being relaunched using a new distribution method after an extensive redesign over the summer months (techy stuff). There is a list of topics waiting to be discussed and you’ll notice that news will be more regular, more thought-provoking and as useful as ever. it would also help if you could suggest ideas or workplace subjects you’d like to see covered. Tell your friends and colleagues, and get them to sign up too.

		<description><![CDATA[Most of us are careful about how we tackle sensitive issues with colleagues and family members. This article provides some pointers on how to go about raising a subject you have been avoiding, to help tackle delicate matters in a productive, fair and balanced way, and to be sure of getting the results you need. Getting the other person's attention, striking the right note and ensuring that something changes is the challenge.]]></description>
