Conflict can be disheartening and damaging to morale. However, conflicts occur based on the differences of values or opinions.
This course is designed to help attendees recognise when a situation is escalating and de-escalate the situation using the appropriate methods, while keeping themselves and all others involved safe.
The course looks at managing conflict resolution in the workplace through introducing a range of approaches to handling awkward situations and providing techniques and advice on the best ways to handle and avoid conflicts with other members of staff or members of the general public.
