POWER LUNCH: Conflict Management and Resolution in the Workplace
Conflict Management and Resolution in the Workplace
Conciliation and Mediation Services (CMS) is a team of neutral third parties that provides impartial alternative dispute resolution services to unionized workplaces across Nova Scotia free of charge, everyday. As such, they regularly work with individuals and groups who are experiencing conflict.Let’s face it, conflict is all around us. It impacts many workplaces and labour-management relationships negatively when it is not managed effectively. This 1.5 hour workshop explores the definition of conflict, its causes, and the potential costs and benefits associated with it. You will learn and apply a framework for managing and resolving conflict effectively to minimize the costs and maximize the benefits!
