Improving Relationships
Relationships at Work
Relationships are tricky and conflict is inevitable.
Especially when you combine a range of volunteers and employees with trustees who are expected, often without much training and support, to understand and know how to handle employees and volunteers…
Not to mention the confusion of overlapping relationships and communities, where the people involved may be part of the same worshipping group, and need to remember they’re ‘not at work’ while sorting out the tea and coffee rota or during a theological debate.
Caveats & Context

If you are looking for more specialised help, or resources to use to improve your relationship, we’ve listed some places you might visit and hopefully find whatever it is you’re looking for!
