Reduce conflict and communicate more constructively
Conflict is a problem for individuals and teams alike, however, when handled constructively, conflict can spark important conversations.
We created this 10-course Conflict Resolution series to train your employees “What to Say When™” conflict arises and how to resolve disagreements in a positive way.
In each scenario-based course, human resources expert Hugh Murray will share tactics for overcoming arguments and tense situations in a way that benefits your whole organization. He’ll explain how to use conflict as a way to improve upon ideas, strengthen bonds with coworkers and become a higher-performing organization overall.
And, because every ServiceSkills.com course comes with an overview sheet and a quiz, you can monitor your team’s progress and retention every step of the way.
