HR File: How will people work together post-referrendum?

When discussing controversial issues it’s important to listen, explore and analyse the different perspectives.

You can’t see the news without hearing about Brexit. Whatever the result, a large number of politicians will have to move forward and work together, despite the obvious antipathy and backbiting that has already started. Similarly, the polarising views of both camps mean that voters are engaging in difficult conversations with each other.

So how does one recover? How do we learn to listen to each other’s differing positions so that we can engage in dialogue? What is the role of empathy? How can we build bridges to help understand each other?
