Why book this course?

Our workplaces offer us the chance to work with a wide variety of people. With so many different experiences and perspectives, we tend to see the world in different ways. This diversity provides many positive opportunities - but it can also increase the potential for conflict.

Whether you're experiencing consistently disruptive or aggressive behaviour or sensing more subtle underlying tensions, conflict is a major source of stress, and can affect morale, self-confidence and ultimately productivity. Our course will give you the tools and the confidence to disarm these tensions, and resolve conflict in an amicable way. 

Who is the course for?

This interactive conflict management and resolution training course is ideal for anyone who wants to develop the knowledge, skills and confidence to identify and deal effectively with workplace tensions and conflict.

It may be particularly useful for managers and supervisors who are in a position to resolve conflicts, but the skills it teaches can be helpful for anyone looking to improve their working relationships, and to communicate more effectively.

What content will the course cover?

• Understand the obvious and less obvious sources of conflict at work

• Resolving conflict between individuals

• Using healthy and positive conflict to reach agreements and goals

What will I get out of the training?

Our Conflict Management and Resolution in the Workplace course will help you to proactively identify and manage conflict at work. By learning about sources of conflict, the working environment and how to tackle conflict at an early, informal stage, you’ll prevent issues from escalating into serious disputes that require the use of formal procedures.

At Kent Trainers, we’re proud to take a personal approach to training. Learners on our Conflict Management and Resolution in the Workplace course will benefit from individual discussions and feedback, sharing the issues they face in their workplace and receiving tailored advice on how to solve them.
