Angry Clients & Challenging Individuals - Techniques to Manage Confrontation

Introduction

Conflict within the workplace can arise for a number of reasons, including difficult customers, overly sensitive colleagues or interfering managers. The stress caused from this can have a negative impact on productivity and lead to illness and absenteeism.

This webinar focuses on conflict resolution within the workplace and is aimed at anyone who has to deal with difficult clients or work colleagues.

Research has shown training in wellbeing in the workplace and mental health awareness has been shown to have an eight fold return in investment from money saved through a reduction in staff turnover, sick leave and absenteeism.
