Why This Matters

Conflict is everywhere. Left unmanaged, it drains energy, damages trust, and blocks collaboration.

Yet most organisations don’t address it effectively — leaving employees stressed, disengaged, or even walking away.

£28.5 Billion a Year

Annual cost of conflict in the UK, equal to over £1,000 per employee

2.8 Hours/Week

Average time U.S. employees spend dealing with conflict → $359 Billion lost productivity

64% of Employees

Report experiencing significant conflict at work

900,000 Workers

In the UK take time off due to conflict; 500,000 resign each year

Conflict costs more than money — it costs wellbeing, performance, and culture.
