  • recognising and understanding conflict in the workplace and why it happens
  • understanding individual reactions to conflict
  • managing reactions to conflict
  • making interventions appropriate to the situation
  • knowing when to get involved
  • getting to the heart of a conflict
  • dealing with emotion
  • enhanced communication skills
  • finding the common ground between oppositional positions
  • creating a future focus
  • joint problem solving
  • following a structured process for resolving conflict
  • other conflict management techniques
  • a year of free support

All our training courses are delivered virtually. The webinar systems used do not require software download.
