Managing Conflict and Difficult Situations CIPD

Details

Effective teamworking and harmonious relationships are essential to the productivity of any organisation. Internal and external pressures – work- or home-related – can result in people being rude, impatient, aggressive or unco-operative. Managing Conflict and Difficult Situations is a one-day course that provides practical techniques to help you handle difficult and potentially confrontational situations confidently and effectively.

Run as it features here, or run in-house where the content can be tailored to suit your organisational needs; cost effective if a number of people require training.
