WORKPLACE CONFLICT MANAGEMENT AND RESOLUTION SKILLS: EMERGING REALITIES



OVERVIEW

Managers spend an average of 20 per cent of their time managing conflict (Thomas, 1992), and evidence suggests conflict and conflict management at work substantially influences individual wellbeing, group performance and organizational effectiveness. Conflict is inevitable and can be both positive and negative. Although it is impossible and probably not wise to eliminate conflict. Organizational Conflict is a social phenomenon that indicates competitive action over a common and conflicting interest. Organizations in which there is little or no conflict may stagnate. On the other hand, organizational/workplace conflict left uncontrolled may have dysfunctional effects. Considering the positive and negative effects of conflict, it is required in every organization to strike a balance. Conflict is required at a moderate level, not too much, not too little.
This training seminar contains resources for changing the norms that so often cause destructive conflict and replacing them with constructive, positive conflict behaviour. The core element in the CCPPA training system puts the tools of the professional conflict manager in the hands of every participants/employee to build better relationships  in the workplace. This is an essential component of every successful organization’s human resource development and organizational development strategic effort. Thousands of organizations have learned this practical tool for the prevention and early resolution of workplace conflicts.
