Respectful Conversations that Reduce Conflict
DO YOU STRUGGLE WITH MANAGING CONFLICT? YOU’RE NOT ALONE!
Dealing effectively with workplace conflict is a useful way to bring important issues to light, open the lines of communication, and strengthen working relationships. Unmanaged conflict in the workplace can lead to reduced levels of teamwork and cooperation, reduced employee commitment and lower levels of quality and productivity. Respectful communication is a key to resolving and preventing conflict.
