staff conflict

im desperate for some advice on dealing with staff conflict.  i have two supervisors who really dont see eye to eye, i appreciate that sometimes 'you cant get on with everyone' but the situation is really stressing me out. iv tried all sorts to deal with the situation, talking things through, recording differences, team leader training. its now got to the point where other staff a picking up on the atmosphere and recently it has been really uncomfortable. both agree they simply dont like each other but agreed to be friends on a professional level but it seems they are both picking faults with one another or going out of their way to find something to complain about. ANY ADVICE ANYONE?

I've had a similar situation reciently, I got both members in the room together and we talked every thing through but during this meeting a realised that these two people were not going to be able to sort their differences out, so I split them up and gave them opposite shifts for a few weeks, I am now at the stage that I can occasionally put them together and they seem to be getting on o.k. I think it's a shame that they can't behave like adults.

cheers, its such a difficult situation.  most of the time they do work seperate shifs there is only 2 days in the week when they work similar hours, alongside this they both work in different rooms. i feel stuck in the middle of both of them, trying to keep all happy!
