Manifestations of Conflict - Overt, Covert, and Everything Between

This video, part of CIPD Level 7 unit 7HR01 Strategic Employment Relations, explores how conflict manifests in employment relationships across different organisational contexts. The session examines assessment criteria AC 1.2, contrasting overt and covert conflict with examples of cooperation, whilst acknowledging the indeterminacy and contested nature of work. You'll analyse how the balance between conflict and cooperation varies between workplaces and across different issues, developing a nuanced understanding essential for HR professionals managing employment relations strategically. By the end, you'll be equipped to recognise conflict manifestations in real-world settings and contextualise them within broader employment relationship dynamics.

About 7HR01 – Strategic employment relations

This unit focuses on different perspectives of employment relations and the cooperation and conflict that varies between workplaces. There is a key role that institutions beyond the workplace play in shaping people management policy and practice within organisations, and a wide variety of models to emerge, meaning that outcomes are less predictable and relationships must be handled with great care.
