Conflict Resolution

1 Full Day or 2 Full Days

Conflict in the workplace is disruptive and can cause a wide range of problems such as low productivity, low morale, high stress levels, and turnover. Most people tend to walk away from conflict hoping that it will somehow work itself out, which only exacerbates the problem in the long term.
