Constructive Conflict Management

Introduction:

Conflict is inevitable—but it doesn’t have to be destructive. When managed well, it can lead to innovation, improved relationships, and stronger teams. In fact, 85% of employees experience workplace conflict, and nearly 30% deal with it on a near-constant basis. Without effective conflict resolution strategies, these situations can escalate and reduce overall team productivity.

This course provides professionals with essential conflict management skills to help recognize issues early, prevent escalation, and create positive outcomes. Through structured approaches to negotiation, mediation, and problem-solving, participants will learn how to resolve conflict with clarity and professionalism.
