The program will provide understanding of conflict as well as methods and processes to facilitate de-escalation of the conflict and emotions to achieve a resolution. Using the principles of The Thomas-Kilmann Conflict Mode Instrument (TKI), participants’ behavior and preferred styles in conflict situations will be assessed, based on the five styles of conflict: Competing (assertive, uncooperative), Avoiding (unassertive, uncooperative), Accommodating (unassertive, cooperative), Collaborating (assertive, cooperative), and Compromising (intermediate assertiveness and cooperativeness).By identifying alternative conflict styles, it helps people reframe and defuse conflict, creating more productive results in addressing conflicts and disputes in the workplace.Areas Covered This session will cover:The nature of conflict in the workplaceMajor sources of conflict in the workplaceThe power of emotions during conflictIdentify effective responses to conflictConflict resolution techniques Who Should AttendHR professionals, Managers, Supervisors, Business owners, Team leadersWhy Should You Attend Conflict is apparent in the workplace, especially during tough business times where resources are light and tempers are shorter.
