NEW EVENT

📅 Date: Wednesday, 25 March 2026
⏰ Time: 12.00PM-1.30PM
📍 Venue: Level 12/276 Flinders St, Melbourne VIC 3000

Conflict is inevitable in any workplace. The real differentiator is not whether it occurs, but how it is handled. With 23% of employees passively looking for new opportunities in 2026 , preventable turnover remains a real risk. When conflict is poorly managed, it erodes trust, engagement, and performance, often accelerating resignations. When handled fairly and transparently, it strengthens culture, accountability, and retention.

Hosted by Suhini Wijayasinghe, Head of HR Solutions at people2people and host of the Ahead of the Curve podcast, the discussion draws on over 15 years of experience across complex, high-performing organisations.

Key session takeaways:
• The difference between conflict management and conflict resolution,and why it matters
• What organisational justice really means in practice (procedural, distributive, and interactional fairness)
• How leaders can handle workplace investigations and escalations with confidence and compliance
• Common mistakes that escalate conflict, and how to avoid them
• How fair processes strengthen engagement, retention, and culture
• Practical frameworks leaders can apply immediately when issues arise

This session is ideal for legal professionals navigating performance concerns, workplace tensions, restructures, or compliance risks. Expect practical frameworks, real-world examples, and clear strategies you can apply immediately, without cutting corners.
