Conflict costs!

It is estimated that 30% of a managers time is spent dealing with conflict, and that Fortune 500 company executives are involved in litigation related activity 20% of their time.

When you consider that turnover costs are anywhere between 75% and 150% of an employee's annual salary, and that absenteeism, sabotage, and reduced decision making ability are all contributing cost factors, then giving employees the ability (skills, knowledge and attitude) to deal with conflict makes good business sense.

No-one likes conflict. But all HR managers know that conflict is an inevitable fact of life in the workplace. Training will not eliminate conflict. That is impossible. But our trainings will:
  • prevent conflict escalating into costly legal disputes
  • decrease staff turnover
  • decrease absenteeism
  • enhance team cohesiveness
