Conflict is the result of people having differing needs, opinions, expectations and importantly different perspectives in New Zealand. The reality of conflict is that in any human relationship it is inevitable, but if handled well, conflict provides a powerful avenue for significant growth.   

Conflict resolution involves recognising and managing the particular conflict. This is an essential part of building emotional intelligence and nurturing relationships. Poorly handled conflict can affect both the employees and the clients, thereby impacting the company’s bottom-line. To maintain your competitive advantage, you need the entire organisation to focus on developing conflict resolution strategies to quickly and effectively resolve conflict, while building trust and commitment with clients and colleagues.   

This Conflict Resolution Training Course provides techniques for individuals in an organisation to resolve workplace conflict and build a common understanding and framework for working through challenging conflict situations. We have, after much research, decided to focus on the Win-Win Approach using the three critical skills of conflict resolution – Negotiation, Assertiveness and Persuasion. These skills will enable the participants to develop conflict resolution strategies for quickly and effectively recognising, resolving and preventing conflict in any situation.
