Avoid Workplace Violence Through Conflict Management

Most incidences of workplace violence are avoidable. But if small tense situations are handled inappropriately, they can quickly turn into emotional or physical violence. Through effective conflict management, the escalation of minor incidents into violent outbursts can be reduced drastically. The use of the appropriate skills can reduce complaints, liability, and injuries while promoting better collaboration, improved morale, and greater personal safety. Learn how to embed these skills into an organization's conflict management program and begin to reap the benefits of having a more conflict-savvy team working on behalf of the organization's brand.
