Executive Course In Workplace Mediation

This course provides participants with the relevant knowledge and practical skills necessary for workplace mediation.

Course Overview

Modern workplaces are complex and comprises of people from diverse backgrounds with different opinions, values and expectations. Conflict Management is therefore critical in order to avoid arguments, disputes, lasting conflicts or even litigation. A certain degree of conflict over technical issues such as what tasks to do and how to do them can be helpful as it injects critical evaluation, potentially leading to improvements but interpersonal tension can easily damage relationships and lead to wider discord and malfunctioning teams.
The Abdulsalami Abubakar Institute for Peace and Sustainable Development Studies created this workplace mediation course to hone participants' skills in bargaining, contract negotiations, and conflict management in the workplace. Participants will learn how to successfully navigate difficult conversations with direct reports, peers, or supervisors where emotions are high and positive outcomes are critical.
This course will be delivered on a modular basis and participants will master the skills needed to critically assess issues from all sides, understand different personal styles, and implement a proven problem-solving approach to find workable resolutions that helps to strengthen relationships and results.
