“Ask racing drivers how they avoid hitting the wall when driving at such high speed and they will tell you: Don’t focus on the wall or you will certainly hit it, just focus on where you are trying to get to and that’s where you’ll end up!”

Conflict can bring out the worst in people and when nothing is done to resolve it effectively; stressful working environments are fuelled. Individuals and organisations can become entangled in a negative climate of fear which can end up being very costly in terms of people and money.

Research shows that sustaining positive and supportive work cultures underpinned by visionary leadership, shared responsibility and reward, better enables organisations to combat and survive an economic downturn.

In this Breakfast Talk, Business Psychologists, Anya Moore and Ro Fasoura, will explore how you can identify potential causes of conflict and how these situations can be successfully managed before they become detrimental to you and your organisation.

We will share with you:

  • How employee engagement and a positive work climate contributes to performance, productivity and improves costumer service.
  • The principles of conflict resolution and why it is important to resolve conflict
  • Tools and techniques to help reduce conflict
  • OBA – an online tool designed to ‘take the temperature’ of your organisation’s culture – in terms of what is ‘normal’ and what is acceptable behaviour

This engaging talk will highlight how you can go from Conflict to Collaboration to create a positive environment for developing sustainable business growth.
