Train Managers to Effectively Resolve Conflicts
Use constructive conflict resolution to positively impact your organization.
View Storyboard
- Managers have reported spending on average 15% of their time, or six hours per week, dealing with conflicts, depending on the level of their organization.
- This is a huge investment of time. The ability to surface interpersonal and team conflicts quickly and settle them effectively is necessary to improve efficiency and productivity levels.
- When conflict is handled inappropriately, it impacts the organizational culture. It can interfere with positive work relationships, create stress, and polarize teams. It leads to increased absenteeism and turnover rates.
