Gain practical knowledge and skills to confidently manage conflicts, underperformance and misconduct at the workplace. Scroll down for course details.

Introduction

Conflicts may arise in any organization. These conflicts can cause far-reaching negative effects on the people in your workplace. It can lead to high absenteeism, turnover, poor productivity, and even violence.

Dealing effectively with workplace conflict can bring important issues to light, open lines of communication and strengthen relationships. Conflict can be a catalyst for constructive change.

Underperformance and misconduct should be managed differently. Many employers believe that they can fire an under-performing or misbehaving employee at any time. This is not true at all, and in fact, termination of employment is always a potentially risky situation.

This workshop will provide participants with the practical knowledge and skills to confidently manage conflicts, underperformance and misconduct at the workplace.
