Each of our courses can be tailored to your organization's exact needs and can be conducted at your offices. 4 to 12 attendees to ensure a highly interactive session.

Reasons to Manage Workplace Conflict

Conflict in the workplace is a major source of work related stress and worker's compensation claims. Not only this, mental health issues now form a larger proportion of work cover claims than physical injuries.

With greater emphasis being placed on workplace behaviours – including bullying, harassment and sexual harassment –your team needs to be able to recognise the signs and take action to deal with conflict quickly.

Delayed, or clumsy responses can quickly escalate into toxic situations that are costly to the business and personnel, ultimately infiltrating the culture of your team.

Conflict management techniques can be learned. By knowing how to recognise the signs and how to deliver an appropriate plan of action, you can protect your business, company culture and the well-being of all involved.
