Importance of Conflict Resolution Skills Training
Conflict resolution training: Why is it so important? Dealing with conflict at work can lead to reduced productivity and can snowball into resentment and bitterness. Workplace conflict usually occurs when people have opposing beliefs, ideas, needs, perspectives or goals. Workplace conflicts should be resolved quickly before they fester and grow.
Dealing With Conflict in the Workplace
If you have evidence of conflict in the workplace then this conflict resolution skills training course is ideal. Learn constructive workplace conflict resolution techniques with this very effective conflict management training course. It is unfair to all employees if workplace conflict is not dealt with effectively. Workplace conflict cannot simply be swept under the carpet.
Workplace Conflict Resolution Skills
In today’s workplace, conflict at work is inevitable. Participants are often surprised to find that organisational conflict is necessary and need not always be perceived in a negative light. All your organisation’s stakeholders have different wants and needs. Ideally everyone is pursuing the organisation’s objectives and working seamlessly. However, the reality is that conflicts will always occur and the goal is to acknowledge and remove them quickly. Dealing constructively with conflict in the workplace is an essential skill for everyone. This can be achieved by understanding the psychology and causes of conflict at work.

Conflict Resolution Case Studies
Participants will also explore case studies and locate the root cause of different conflicts in workplaces. Participants will be encouraged to put together strategies to address the root cause of the problem instead of addressing symptoms of the problem. The case studies reinforce how people can deal with conflict constructively instead of avoiding the conflict. Workplace conflict constantly morphs until it is confronted professionally and in a timely manner.
