Interpersonal Conflict May be Ruining Your Organization’s Productivity!

According to the Washington Business Journal, “Managers spend 25-40% of their time dealing with interpersonal conflict.” Your efforts to increase productivity may be missing the mark. Nothing is more important to your training department than proving that your training programs add to the organization’s growth and productivity. Studies show that over 65% of all productivity loss can be directly attributed to workplace interpersonal conflict issues.

What It’s Best Used For

• Running Flexible Corporate Workshops: Equipping internal training departments to deploy standalone conflict resolution sessions ranging from a quick two-hour module to a comprehensive full-day seminar.
• Curbing Productivity Loss: Proactively addressing workplace bottlenecks, tension, and communication breakdown, which studies show account for up to 65% of all corporate productivity losses.
• Promoting “Win/Win” Negotiations: Transitioning employees away from hostile win/lose mentalities and coaching them to approach internal disagreements using collaborative problem-solving tactics.
• Independent Self-Directed Learning: Deploying the online assessment alongside the instructional video to give individual remote workers or executives a contextual overview of their behavioral habits.
• Upgrading to 360-Degree Team Feedback: Providing high-conflict professionals or executives with deeper perspective by letting managers, peers, and direct reports anonymously score how they handle disputes.
• Lowering Daily Workplace Stress: Building employee confidence when navigating potential office arguments, which naturally lowers job anxiety and strengthens team relationships.

This quick and easy to use assessment is a significant improvement over conventional conflict assessments with clearer and more user-friendly results and helpful support material.

The Dealing with Conflict Trainers Kit is a complete modular and integrated conflict assessment and training program that includes:

• 10 online self assessments,
• 10 Participant Coursebooks
• the comprehensive Dealing with Conflict Leader’s Guide and the Dealing with Conflict DVD.

Use the complete program to deliver from 2 hours to a full-day conflict workshop. Or if you prefer, choose only those products you wish and easily integrate them into most existing training programs.

The Dealing with Conflict Instrument presents five conflict styles

• accommodate
• avoid
• compromise
• compete
• collaborate

By completing the DCI, you will learn about your own natural style tendencies. Adding the 360-degree feedback module can provide insight into how you are perceived by others when resolving conflicts. The combined results can provide clear direction on which styles of conflict resolution need the most improvement. Learn how to dissect conflict situations using conflict analysis and decide which style is best for any given situation, thus greatly improving the chances of a successful resolution.

Most of us are less skilled at handling conflict than we should be. The Dealing with Conflict family of products will enable any trainer to deliver a professional conflict workshop that will develop interpersonal conflict management skills emphasizing a collaborative or problem solving style that reduces conflict and improves working relationships.
