AI & Managing Workplace Conflict 2026

Artificial Intelligence is rapidly transforming the modern workplace. From recruitment and performance management to employee engagement and communications, AI-driven tools are increasingly influencing how organisations operate and how people interact. As technology becomes more embedded in working life, new opportunities and challenges are emerging for those responsible for managing workplace conflict.

AI & Managing Workplace Conflict 2026 is a specialist virtual conference designed for HR professionals, workplace mediators, employee relations specialists, people managers, consultants and organisational leaders seeking to understand the impact of AI on conflict prevention, resolution and mediation.

Building on the success and expertise of the UK Mediation Conference, this focused event explores how technology is reshaping workplace relationships, communication and dispute resolution. The conference will examine both the opportunities and the risks associated with the growing use of AI in workplace conflict management.

As workplace conflict continues to present significant challenges for organisations, effective early intervention, mediation and conflict resolution remain essential tools for creating healthy and productive workplaces. Research from Acas continues to highlight the importance of resolving conflict early, promoting positive workplace relationships and supporting managers with the skills and tools needed to address issues before they escalate.
