Course Description
As you prepare to become a more effective or potentially new manager, does the thought of conflict resolution amongst co-workers intimidate you? The presence of conflict in an organization can actually be a very positive thing – the ability to freely express opinions and openly debate can lead to better, more strategic decisions being made.

Managers have reported spending 18% to 26% of their time dealing with conflicts, depending on the level of their organization. This is a huge investment of time. The ability to surface interpersonal and team conflicts quickly and settle them effectively is necessary to improve efficiency and productivity levels. When conflict is handled inappropriately, it impacts the organizational culture. It can interfere with positive work relationships, create stress, and polarize teams. It leads to increased absenteeism and turnover rates. As a supervisor, you must be confident and efficient at addressing and moderating conflict. Taking this course will prove to be a huge asset for you and your team.
