What we'll cover

Forty-five minutes, four parts

A laptop on a home-office desk showing a blurred video call with three people.
  1. 1

    What you're actually dealing with

    A personality clash, a conduct complaint and a broken process look alike from the owner's desk. They need different responses, and picking the wrong one is how a small problem becomes a formal one.

  2. 2

    The first conversation with each person

    What to say, what to write down and what not to promise. How to stay fair without taking a side, and without making it worse.

  3. 3

    What you can try before you spend anything

    The steps an owner can take this week, and the signs that it's time to bring in someone neutral.

  4. 4

    Your questions

    Fifteen minutes at the end. Send a question with your registration, or ask on the day. Describe people by role, never by name.

Who it's for

For the person everyone brings it to

  • Owners and managers of businesses without an HR team
  • Anyone who has become the referee between two people who used to get along
  • Business partners who can see a disagreement hardening

Good to know

  • This is general information for owners, not advice on your matter. If you want to talk about your own situation, a free triage call is the place for it.
  • If a formal complaint or investigation is already under way, or someone has been hurt, the steps are different. Come along, but speak to someone about your matter as well.
  • Can't make it? Register anyway and we'll let you know about the next one. In the meantime, the first 48 hours guide covers the same ground in writing.
