Healthy working relationships are critical to an organisation’s success. Our Workplace Relationships Programme supports employers to create a preventative culture and tackle early signs of unhealthy behaviour, such as sexual harassment, in the workplace.

Our workshops are designed for organisations of all kinds, with particular value for leadership teams, people managers, new starters, and early-career programmes, equipping individuals at every level with the skills to build positive relationships and contribute to a productive working culture.

Why are healthy relationships in the workplace so important?

They save money…

• Conflict at work is estimated to cost an average of around £1000 per year for every UK worker – that’s £28.5bn in total. (ReWage, 2023)
• Informal conflict resolution on a peer-to-peer level, meanwhile, has been highlighted as the most cost-effective way to resolve conflict. (ReWage, 2023)

And they make your team more productive…

• There is a direct link between the strength of an individual’s working relationships and how motivated they are. (Harvard Business Review, 2022)
• “Having one meaningful conversation per week with each team member develops high-performance relationships more than any other leadership activity.” (ReWage, 2023)

Key learning outcomes:

Our workshops, led by experts in relationships education, focus on the following key outcomes:

• Identifying healthy and unhealthy behaviours in the workplace
• Practising inclusive and positive conversations
• Learning how to lead and be part of a happy and productive team

Through group discussion, interactive scenarios, and self-reflection, employees will develop practical tools and strategies to spot and stop unhealthy work relationships.
