Workplace Conflict Resolution- LIVE WEBINAR

Learn essential skills for managing conflict in the workplace.
About this Event

This is a LIVE Webinar on Zoom.

Before you proceed, please take note:

For this live, interactive, participation-based webinar:

Be AUDIO-ON and VIDEO-ON.
Have ready access to handouts (which will be sent beforehand).
Be in a reasonably quiet place (although barking, meowing and kid noise are okay - we get it!)
Have a reasonably stable internet connection and stationary environment (not in the car!).

Participants who need to turn video off more than briefly will be placed in the virtual “waiting room” until they are available to re-join.

There will be a 15 minute audio-off, video-off break in the middle of each session.

If either the date or the training format don’t work for you right now, we hope you’ll considering joining us online on different dates or when we have in-person training again.

COURSE DESCRIPTION

We encounter conflict in the workplace every day. Unresolved employee conflict is costly and distracting. When we feel confident managing workplace conflict, teamwork is more efficient, employee retention is higher, cooperation increases, and everyone can focus on the work at hand.

You will leave this workshop with:

An understanding of how personal views and beliefs about conflict might help or hinder you in the workplace
Tools to use now to resolve disputes
More confidence to act when you encounter conflict
Strategies to remain calm when others are angry
Practice helping others resolve their own problems to avoid tension and resentment

Participants will receive a certificate for 5 hours continuing education .
