Overview/Description
What are your thoughts on conflict in the workplace? Do you dread it? Quietly try to avoid it? Or do you rush headlong to meet it with enthusiasm, certain it will bring renewed vigor and badly-needed change to your organization? No matter your answer, the Conflict in the Workplace Simulation will provide you with the opportunity to practice skills for coping with conflict and putting it to work for good.
Conflict is inevitable in the workplace. Everybody has their own ideas about how things should run. Eventually, these ideas will collide. When they do, you don't need to be unprepared.
Above and beyond all the skills you can possibly learn for coping with conflict, effective communication skills will prove to be the most beneficial. Without open lines of honest communication in the workplace, unspoken and harbored conflicts will boil and fester until productivity grinds to a halt. Knowing how and when to address issues of conflict will help you to cut away destructive behaviors, encourage healthy arguments, and create an environment full of vigor and embracing of change. The Conflict in the Workplace Simulation will help you to learn all this and more.
The Conflict in the Workplace Simulation comprises three scenarios and is based on the SkillSoft series "Conflict in the Workplace." Throughout the simulation links are provided to the following SkillSoft courses: comm_07_a01_bs_enus, comm_07_a02_bs_enus, and comm_07_a03_bs_enus.
