Wherever diverse people work together every day, conflict will happen. Employees bring different attitudes, ideals and beliefs, and incivility can seriously damage culture. This 90-minute workplace conflict and incivility training gives managers the tools to address these issues with confidence.
Unresolved conflict and incivility cost revenue and productivity, stifle creativity and block cooperation. You'll cover the cost of performance problems, the positive and negative outcomes of conflict, relevant employment law, feedback, performance management and progressive discipline.
The session also covers investigating complaints, from choosing the investigator to interviews and documentation, plus defining incivility, its forms and impact, and ways to build civility.
WHY SHOULD YOU ATTEND?
Behavioral issues and conflict can be opportunities for learning, growth and even innovation when handled well. Problem behavior usually builds over time, and issues that are ignored turn into resentment, so the more proactive managers are, the better the outcome.
It suits managers, supervisors, team leaders, executives, HR and employee relations professionals, office and safety managers, small business owners and organizational development professionals.
