About this Event

Conflict at work is changing.

A YouGov poll commissioned by Acas found 2 in 5 workers say workplace conflict is rising, with Acas handling 117,000 disputes in 2024–25, the highest since the pandemic.

Employers are facing a new wave of tensions:

  • Resourcing challenges and stalled projects
  • Intergenerational differences
  • Polarised views on AI, ethics, and global events
  • Disengagement in classic forms of workplace consultation
    The Greater London Authority's (GLA) Mayor of London’s Good Work Standard, and The Liminal Space invite you to a high-impact, interactive session designed for today’s leaders: The Conflict Lab.
    Using The Liminal Space's unique behavioural insight, structured experimentation approach and immersive storytelling techniques, The Conflict Lab offers a safe, creative space to explore real-world tensions and practice constructive responses. 
    You’ll leave with:
  • Confidence to hold difficult conversations that don’t go by the script
  • Practical tools to keep staff engaged, heard, and motivated
  • Strengthened emotional literacy to recognise the dynamics beneath the words and keep conversations productive.
  • Shared insight from London employers navigating similar challenges

What to expect

● Interactive scenarios and rehearsals

● Practical toolkits for difficult conversations

● Peer exchange with fellow Good Work Standard employers

● Expert facilitation from The Liminal Space and Dr. Raúl Chávez

Audience
Open to HR professionals, founders, executives, and people leaders from London employers of all sizes.
