Course Description

Conflict is unavoidable. Even if you work in the happiest company in the world, you're still going to have conflict from time to time. It's a normal and natural part of being around other people. But when conflict becomes something that hinders your work environment and disrupts your ability to get things done, you need to do something about it.

Resolving Workplace Conflict is an online course that is designed to help employees and managers understand the complexities of conflict, including its causes and possible solutions. By better understanding where conflict begins and how it might be perpetuated, companies can begin to move forward and they can begin to change the outcomes of difficult situations.

From accusations to manager conflict and more, this course will help you learn more about what's actually happening when conflict arises. You will learn how to understand your own conflict style – and how that may or may not be helpful to the situation.

In addition, this course provides practical and real life tips for companies who are facing long-term conflicts, even discussing how to manage an employee who seems to be causing the trouble. If you've been wondering whether conflict at work can be solved, or even just minimized, then this is the course for you.  No matter what a company may be facing, these conflict management strategies will ensure a smooth transition from conflict to learning opportunity.

 

Course Motivation

It seems like everywhere you go, you run into conflict. When you are at work, you may simply want to do what needs doing and then go home, but this is often not the case.

In a place where you need to focus on your work in order to get a paycheck, you might want to just sit at your desk and avoid everyone. However, this is not possible, and avoiding conflict is impossible as well.

To learn more about how you can manage conflict in the workplace, you need to understand the causes of conflict, as well as some possible solutions. When you can begin to understand what is happening, you can turn things in a new direction.

No matter how big or small the conflict might be in your workplace, the more you focus on fixing it, the more easily you will work with others in your office.

You have to see your co-workers day after day, so the less conflict you have, the better. In addition, many of the conflict management skills you will learn are going to be helpful in your everyday and personal life too. We might not be able to avoid conflict, but there are ways to make it less painful, and maybe even a learning experience.

When you can begin to look at conflict as something that happens because people are people, we can begin to see it as an opportunity. Moreover, with each opportunity comes the ability to grow and to learn as managers, employees, and future managers.

The workplace can be a place of conflict, and a place where conflict is resolved.
