Navigating the challenges of the workplace in our new normal. With stress at an all time high because of the uncertainty of the situation and many people working from home, if at all, conflict is even more likely to happen or escalate.
The challenges are augmented with physical distancing.
Effective conflict management skills and self-awareness are even more necessary now in order to prevent the kind of conflict that can seriously derail work relationships and how we function within them.
Did You Know…
Workers spend an average of 2.8 hours per week dealing with conflict. That’s almost 4 weeks a year lost, without even considering the impact managing that conflict can have outside the office. Left unchecked, conflict in the workplace can create a very unpleasant environment with negative effects on production, quality of work and the mental health of all involved. In the worst cases, it can result in malicious office gossip and employees taking increased numbers of sick days or even permanently leaving the team.
Because we are all uniquely individual, conflict is a normal part of working together and it’s unrealistic to think it can be eliminated. Skills can, however, be learned to manage conflict so that outcomes lead to creative teamwork and a fulfilling and positive work environment. At the heart of collaborative and creative conflict resolving is the ability to get beneath the rigid positions that people in conflict often take.
This six-week course will provide insight into conflict solving styles, with a specific focus on collaboration and the key skill required to unlock impasse and open creative, mutually satisfying solutions.
