📍 Venue: Level 6, 182 St Georges Terrace, Perth WA 6000

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.

Join Tania Waters, a workplace conflict mediator at Taite, as she shares her expertise from over 20 years in HR roles at law firms in Singapore and Perth. Now a mediator and conflict coach, Tania will explore how effective negotiation can foster a more harmonious workplace.

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.
