How workplace mediation can save you thousands in recruitment costs.
Hiring is expensive. Keeping good people? Even more so. Yet one of the biggest (and most preventable) reasons employees quit is workplace conflict. Instead of spending thousands recruiting replacements, wouldn’t it be easier (and cheaper) to just… fix the problem? Enter workplace mediation.
The cost of losing an employee
When someone quits due to conflict, your business isn’t just losing a team member - it’s losing money. The average cost of replacing an employee in the UK is around £30,000, factoring in:
Recruitment fees
Training and onboarding
Lost productivity
The impact on morale (because let’s be honest, everyone notices when people start jumping ship)
Now multiply that by a few resignations a year and that’s painful!
Why employees actually leave
Contrary to popular belief, most employees don’t leave for money. They leave because of bad relationships, unresolved tensions, and toxic work environments. Conflict left unchecked can make even the best job unbearable.
How mediation stops the exodus
Mediation helps employees talk through their issues before they start polishing their CVs. It:
Fixes miscommunication and misunderstandings
Rebuilds trust and working relationships
Improves team dynamics, so people actually want to stay
When employees feel heard, valued, and respected, they stick around. And that saves businesses a fortune.
The bottom line? Mediation = Retention
Before you spend thousands to replace yet another departing employee, ask yourself: Could this have been avoided with mediation?
Conflict is inevitable. Losing great people because of it isn’t. Let’s fix the problem before your team starts disappearing.
