A recent study on workplace conflict found that an overwhelming majority (85%) of employees, at all levels, have experienced dealing with stressful conflict. For example: being in a frustrating disagreement with a colleague; managing a conflict between co-workers; or getting team members to collaborate instead of working independently. Workplace conflict is inevitable — but costly. Unresolved conflicts lead to miscommunication, stalled projects, reduced productivity, and employee disengagement.
How much is conflict costing your organization? There are a variety of direct costs associated with poorly managed conflict, including, in the worst cases, the loss of your valued customers and your top talent. Another cost is the time spent by managers who are constantly dealing with disagreements, handling difficult people, or smoothing ruffled feathers. Their time would be better spent on accomplishing their work and team goals.
The good news! Most workplace conflicts can be prevented or resolved quickly when people have the right conflict management skills. This webinar will equip your managers, supervisors, and teams to avoid the common mistakes made by those who are well-intended but ineffective; to learn to communicate in a way that lessens the heat of the moment; to resolve and even prevent major conflict by quickly defusing a difficult situation.
