Conflict Management: Fierce and Crucial Conversations
2024-05-16 12:00 - 13:00
Workplace conflict haunts organizations every day—it leads to lost productivity, diminished morale, and decreased performance. Conflict can negatively impact your organization’s bottom line through increased employee absenteeism, decreased job performance, and poor customer service.

Learning Objectives:

Understand the elements of effective communication
Utilize a 5-step process for dealing with difficult people
Recognize the negative impacts of conflict
Navigating through tough conversations with employees
Conflict resolution across department team members
Understanding and displaying empathy

This series is sponsored by the Workforce Development Board of Solano County and is made possible by funding from Solano County.
