Learn how to mediate and manage conflict
Conflict exists in every workplace and can result in uncomfortable or upsetting situations for those involved, when managed poorly.
Indeed, one of the leading causes of workplace stress is unresolved conflict. If well managed, however, conflict can prompt many positive outcomes such as a clearer understanding of teams and their needs, enhanced trust and authentic working relationships.
About the course
Many managers are daunted when conflict occurs and try to avoid it, but this can have detrimental effects on teamwork, productivity and performance leading to negativity and lack of motivation.
Learning the skills of conflict management and mediation can help employees and managers. When utilising the correct skills, they can become confidence when working with colleagues to resolve issues as they arise, allowing for everyone to benefit from a safe and open workplace.
This one-day online programme is designed to allow participants to examine their own responses to conflict and identify the impacts of
these responses in difficult situations. Through raising self-awareness, participants can acquire the skills to develop healthy responses to conflict in order to build trusting working relationships and high performing teams.
Participants will also learn the steps for mediating between parties so that conflict can be resolved locally and early in a way that supports trust and healthy working environments.
