- Conflict management – employment relationships don’t always run smoothly and such issues that could potentially lead to either informal or formal complaints within the workplace, are extremely difficult to manage.

- Equality and Diversity - Many businesses recognise the importance of embracing diversity and ensuring that their business culture encourages employees to respect each other. Employment law, too, means that businesses have to deal with equality issues on a daily basis both as a service provider and as an employer. Caroline has a unique insight in to diversity issues and has been responsible for promoting diversity and embracing equality through, for example, the production of Equality Schemes to meet the public sector duty, as well as ensuring that businesses are aware of the importance they should place on equality especially in customer facing roles. We can offer advice, write policies and deliver bespoke workshops.
