Training Course Overview

Conflicts at the workplace are a common occurrence, and is often unavoidable, especially when employees of various backgrounds and different work styles are brought together for a shared business purpose. Conflict can be caused by misunderstood communication, personality clashes to organizational mismanagement. The negative effects of workplace conflict can include decreased productivity, disengagement, demotivation, work disruptions, absenteeism, project failure and turnover.

A survey by the Chartered Institute of Personnel and Development (2015) found that 40% of UK employees reported having experienced some form of interpersonal conflict at work in the last year. Most of that conflict is between an employee and his or her line manager. The survey also found that employees are more likely to report that they have experienced conflict with a staff member who is more senior to them.

However, crucially, the ability to recognize conflict, understand the nature of conflict, and to be able to bring swift and just resolution to conflict will serve you well as a leader. On the downside, the inability to do so may well be your downfall.

This definitive Anderson training course builds the business case to effectively manage workplace conflict while also establishing the key process to define a harmonious and inclusive Positive workplace culture via global benchmarks and best practices.
