Co-worker conflict | Feuding colleagues cause nearly HALF of all workplace grievances

Feuding and conflicting colleagues account for nearly half (47%) of all grievances raised in the workplace, according to new research by employment law and HR consultancy firm, WorkNest.

Nearly four in ten (38%) businesses believe this is down to employees becoming less tolerant, with factors like mental health and stress (24%) and organisational change (24%) also suspected to be contributing to conflict between employees or between employees and line managers.
