In today’s workplace, different people’s behaviours, different working styles, or differences in expectations can all give rise to damaging and drawn-out disagreements. Interpersonal conflict, personality clashes, and factionalism can quickly develop, leading to grievances and other formal processes.
The Manager as Mediator masterclass, delivered on-site or online, draws on a collection of the skills used by mediators, coaches, and counsellors. It gives your managers the confidence and competence to use some mediation skills right away, and briefly explores the psychology behind workplace conflict.
Learn about the benefits of mediation
Gain some basic mediation skills
Separate yourself from other peoples' disputes
Prior to the training delivery, we carry out a detailed pre-course consultation in order to tailor all course materials, practical exercises, and case simulations to your requirements.
Who better to teach you about mediation than an actual mediator? All of our trainers are also actively practising mediators with a wealth of experience to call upon.
We are the only mediation company to hold the ISO:9001 Quality Standard. You can be assured that all of our training courses are delivered in a quality-focused manner.
