Conflict Management
In any workplace, conflict is inevitable – but how it’s handled can make all the difference. For those working in high-pressure environments like health and safety, managing conflict constructively is essential for maintaining professionalism, wellbeing, and team cohesion.
Our bespoke Conflict Management Training is designed to equip professionals with the skills, tools, and confidence to handle difficult situations calmly and effectively. Whether dealing with members of the public, navigating internal tensions, responding to complaints, or supporting staff after incidents, this training provides practical strategies underpinned by proven psychological theories and legal knowledge.
Tailored to the specific needs of your team or organisation, this training is ideal for:
- Health and safety teams interacting with clients, contractors, or regulatory bodies
- Managers and supervisors responsible for team wellbeing and performance
- Frontline staff engaging with the public or handling complaints
- Anyone tasked with diffusing challenging situations in a constructive and compliant way
Training is face-to-face and can take place at customer sites or at our location in Wiltshire.
