Conflict Management Training

Course overview

The Aim of The Conflict Management Training Course

This conflict management training course is designed to train individuals on how to prevent and handle conflicts that occur in the workplace. It familiarises individuals with common causes and signs of conflict. It also explains how the law relates to conflict management and how to carry out a conflict risk assessment. We also train individuals on ways to prevent conflicts and methods for handling confrontations together with ongoing cases of conflict, including types of alternative conflict resolution.

What content will be covered?

We tailor all our courses to reflect the needs of the organisation together with the individual needs of each delegate. We use a blend of theory and exercises designed to develop delegates’ Conflict Management skills. Real-life work events can be built into the training to support the learning process. This also helps to generate ideas and solutions that can be carried out in the workplace.

Conflict Management Training Course Support Material

On the day, a colour printed workbook with techniques, tips and space for notes will be available to all delegates for their personal use.
