10. Conflict Calculator
•Input the number of HR staff, senior management and

•Add in how many days/weeks people have been
involved in this conflict. The Conflict Calculator
estimates that people waste at least a quarter of their
working time when involved in disputes.
•Add in time spent on sick leave because of the
conflict.
•Then add costs of a formal investigation and staff time
lost.
•Add in lawyers’ time if the complainant goes to an ET,
plus staff time preparing and attending an ET.

12. A checklist to determine whether Bullying or
Harassment has taken place?
• Is there evidence of harassment/discrimination? Was that person
singled out because of their age, disability, gender reassignment, race,
religion or belief, sex, sexual orientation?
• Is there evidence of bullying behaviour?
• Was the behaviour unwanted and had they told the person concerned?
• Was it unreasonable for the person to be treated this way?
• What effect/detriment was there?
• Was there any evidence of abuse of power or disrespectful behaviour?
• What was the intention of the perpetrator?
Bearing the above in mind, what finding will you make?
