		<description><![CDATA[Conflict is obviously costly in financial terms, but more important is the cost to morale, working relationships and personal well-being. Conflict causes misery and burns up energy that would otherwise used productively for work. But it doesn’t have to be like this. If you are involved in a dispute at work (or elsewhere) here are some things you can do to start to resolve it.]]></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[The National Bullying Helpline has suspended services temporarily and announced that it is considering its future after it went public and said "three or four" Downing Street employees had called its helpline.
The HSE, in its study Bullying at work: a review of the literature, says that there are over the half a million cases of work-related stress reported each year in the UK and that, on average, each case results in 29 working days lost. Bullying is the cause of 10-20% of this, the report estimates.]]></description>

Stories of war, high-profile divorce, religious clashes, strikes and workplace disputes are some, and popular entertainment carries the theme into our daily lives. Conflict sells, so it was a surprise to find that the Guardian had published an article on workplace mediation in the Guardian.]]></description>
