Conflict Management - Working Through Differences

 
Onsite training to manage conflict and resolve differences.

Learn how to implement conflict resolution skills to build more positive relationships.

This onsite conflict management skills seminar develops communication skills to resolve conflict and helps people work through difficult and challenging situations effectively.
 
Simply put, conflict exists when two or more people disagree about something. Differences in opinion, communication style and/or approach make conflict inevitable in today’s workplace. These situations often cause people to be close-minded and angry. The resulting conflict can have a negative effect on quality, productivity, cooperation and the company’s bottom line.

The key is not to sidestep or fear conflict but to manage it.

Resolving disputes and disagreements can help harness the passion that drives conflict and put it to good use for a more productive, positive and less stressful workplace.   

Through practical examples and realistic scenarios, participants learn to diagnose the cause of conflict and how to use proven techniques to resolve differences, reduce the potential for continued conflict and build more positive working relationships.

In reality, workplace conflict is inevitable and training employees on the principles of conflict management is essential to the pursuit of success. This workshop teaches the most effective methods of conflict resolution to overcome differences with bosses, coworkers, customers and others.
