It is vital for managers to have effective tools to prevent and resolve conflict whether it is conflict among team members or conflict with clients and customers. This course will provide you with simple effective techniques that you can apply to reduce conflict including a 3 step formula to diffuse difficult situations immediately. Managing conflict effectively allows companies to increase productivity, facilitate stronger work teams and retain customers and clients.
Conflict is a normal part of relationships and contrary to what you may
have heard, it is not always negative. Conflict can allow people to work
through challenges and identify thoughtful solutions. However too much
conflict over a long period of time can be problematic causing a
breakdown in communication, resentment, decreased productivity an in
some cases violence. According to research on workplace conflict, 85
percent of employees deal with conflict at work and 29 percent of
employees deal with it almost constantly. When equipped with the right
tools managers can prevent, manage and resolve conflict more quickly and
easily. 76 percent of employees who receive conflict management and
dispute resolution training experience positive outcomes while 81
percent found a better solution to their problems.
