External Conflict Management
E-Learning
20–30 min
With around 649,000 incidents of violence and almost 300,000 adults experiencing physical violence at work in 2023, it is very important to train staff in managing conflict in the workplace in order to effectively deal with conflict situations.
However, most instances of conflict do not necessarily include physical violence, but normally take the form of a dissatisfied customer or client. And with the negative effects that losing a dissatisfied customer has on a business, effective conflict management training can assist in solving a dispute or preventing a negative outcome.
