Managing Conflict in the Workplace

Increasing critical skills and acumen to resolve conflicts in an effective manner

OVERVIEW

Conflicts are inevitable when people with different perspectives and goals are working in the same environment.

We have all experienced the stress that comes from having unresolved conflicts at work.

Conflicts that are ignored or resolved badly do not go away – they cause people to feel resentful and to avoid each other. The effects on the company are a loss of productivity, a hit to employee morale, larger than normal absenteeism and bad turnover.

Our Managing Conflict in the Workplace workshop goes directly to the heart of this problem.

What Will Be Covered

Managing Conflict in the Workplace is an immersive experience which teaches you to diagnose conflict before it intensifies, apply appropriate conflict resolution techniques to specific situations, and remain calm under fire.

You must be prepared to effectively handle all types of conflicts, and this workshop will help participants understand the root of conflict, lead difficult conversations, communicate without causing defensiveness, de-escalate difficult situations, and resolve conflicts in the most positive, collaborative way possible.

This offering employs a combination of learning styles, such as instructor-led facilitation, panel discussions, video critiques, small-group working sessions and role-play scenarios based on real organizational scenarios.

Participants will also discover more about themselves as they learn how to use their conflict management talents for the greater good of both their relationships and the organization. Utilizing a blend of instruction, demonstration and feedback, the workshop provides practice opportunities for new skills learned.
