Dysfunctional conflict raises tension and stress, cuts productivity and quality, and drives absenteeism and turnover. This 60-minute webinar on managing workforce conflict shows how to handle it with confidence and steer toward respectful communication and less drama.
You'll learn 13 major strategies for managing conflict, two models that explain its dynamics, and nine hot buttons that inflame conflict and what to do about each.
The session also covers mediation techniques for employees at odds, your own role in a conflict, the ways managers make conflict worse, and the dysfunctional behaviors to watch for based on your personality.
WHY SHOULD YOU ATTEND?
Studies show managers spend 20 to 40% of their time dealing with conflict, which costs US businesses an estimated $259 billion, and unresolved conflict is tied to half of employee turnover. Conflict that ends in legal action is costly even if you win.
This session suits managers, supervisors, team leaders, HR professionals and employees dealing with conflict.
