The Resolution Framework
The best gift to give your employees?
That’s a culture of compassion, collaboration and communication.
For the penultimate day of our #wrapitup campaign, our CEO & Founder David Liddle talks us through the revolutionary alternative to traditional grievance procedures: The Resolution Framework.
❤️? It’s a people-centred, values-based, humane framework for handling issues that challenge our organisations.

Spotting the early signs of stress
Mark Simmonds, author of Beat Stress at Work, offers guidance on what to do if you think someone is showing signs of bad stress at work.
It’s up to us as colleagues, friends and neighbours to spot the early warning signs in others.
If you think something’s not right, ask your co-worker (or whoever it may be) how they are – and then ask again. It’s often after the second time of asking that the floodgates open.
