We don’t have the time to run this programme
The only formal time commitment is to the activities which take approximately 60 minutes per month or 15 minutes a week. Compare this to the time cost of arguing, misunderstanding and conflict.
On average, employees spend the equivalent of 12 days each year dealing with conflict in the workplace – significantly more than the time lost to absences. Employers typically spend a total of 13 days on each disciplinary case and 9 days on each formal grievance submitted. (Willmott and Purcell CIPD Impact issue 28).
The real question may not be whether you have time for this programme but can you afford the time lost through dysfunctional relationships by not having this programme.
