Handling conflict at work through informal and formal channels
This course is designed to develop the skill, knowledge and confidence of those managers who are responsible for maintaining standards in their team.
Often the best way to deal with problems like lateness, low work standards and other work related issues is by a structured informal conversation. If this is successful then the manager and member of staff will not need to take the matter further as standards will have improved.
