Introduction Workplaces are full of conflict. Conflict
occurs between team members, between those of different teams
and departments, between management and lower level staff and
between the front-line and the external environment - the client/customer.
This one-day event tackles conflict and provides attendees with
a toolbox of skills for reducing, managing and negotiating conflict.
Who is this course for? The course has been designed to be applicable
to any level of employee within an organization and, in fact,
the more that different levels are represented, the more dynamic
and interesting the explorations and discussions become. That
said, we can customize the course as necessary to be more meaningful
to a particular group. For example, previous clients have been
interested in only training their executives. Armed with an understanding
of what these people do via the initial organizational meeting,
we can ensure that our facilitators cover the most pertinent and
salient issues specific to any group.
Aims & Objectives At the end of the course, delegates will
have a fuller understanding of what conflict is, their conflict
style and conflict management style as well as those of others.
They will be able to effectively prepare for negotiation and use
their communication skills to reduce conflict and misunderstanding
in the workplace. The above is achieved by way of presentations,
written exercises and practical small group exercises facilitated
by experienced organizational psychologists.
Course Length In-house courses may be one full day or two
half-days. When run as a public course, the Managing Conflict
at Work course fills one day.
Course Content A full outline of the course content is provided
overleaf. Participants all receive a detailed course manual/workbook
that enables them to keep a permanent record of the course and
exercises. This is used for follow-up action plans and subsequent
reviews. Furthermore, a pre-course online psychometric assessment
facilitates confidential personal exploration and meaning during
the course.
