Therefore, the Workplace Relations Act 2015 has been a welcome development albeit with its advantages and disadvantages and the process has been shortened and simplified to make it less expensive for both sides to pursue. Multiple claims no longer have to go to different Courts for redress as all employment rights disputes will go straight to the Workplace Relations Commission based on the same set of facts and in the event that mediation fails, the matter is dealt with by an Adjudication Officer.

Conflict is inescapable, having the ability to recognize, understand, and resolve conflicts are important in both personal and professional lives.
