The Art & Science of Conflict Management: Diversity (free webinar)

Jul142020

When: July 14 2020 | Where: via Zoom

Having received positive feedback from the live events, we are re-running our Art & Science of Conflict Management series of free seminars as free webinars.

The ability to manage conflict positively is a key management and leadership skill.

There are various measures of the cost of conflict, all of which make grim reading for employers. One statistic suggests that managers spend upwards of 24% of their time dealing with conflict situations. Imagine if that time was spent more productively. CIPD studies have consistently supported that providing conflict skills training to managers and employees can make a real impact. In addition, HR have a key role here, either in supporting and coaching managers or in assisting with the correct intervention at the right time.

The conflict skills training that we have developed over many years is designed to equip delegates with key skills that will make a real impact in understanding and managing conflict situations directly or in enabling others to resolve matters more effectively. This is a subject close to our hearts, and Alison’s book, Mediation Skills for Managers, outlines the key mediation skills and how these can be applied in day to day management of staff.

To give a taster of our approach we are offering a number of “taster sessions” focusing on key skills. This interactive session will look diversity.

Please book via Eventbrite.

Testimonial

Hayley’s report was very professional, it dealt with all the issues raised and was particularly thorough. She had clearly taken the time to fully understand all of the issues and background. It was complex but the report really helped to break it down and I’m hoping we can progress in a positive manner following the recommendations.

Group Conflict – Conflicts between teams

It is not uncommon for conflict to arise between different teams. This can have considerable impact on both individuals and performance. A number of approaches can be used in this sort of scenario, including neutral assessment, team facilitation and group mediation.

Conflict Coaching – Shareholder/Director dispute

Agreement could not be reached to enter into mediation in this situation and therefore coaching was an alternative support provided to one of the parties. The relationship between a majority shareholder and a shareholder/director was causing conflict. The relationship would be ok at times but disagreements would flare up from time to time and this was beginning to impact on the business.
