In today’s workplace, different people’s behaviours, different working styles, or differences in expectations can all give rise to protracted and difficult disagreements. Rumbling conflict, personality clashes and factionalism can quickly develop, leading to grievances and other complaints against the organisation.
The Manager as Mediator masterclass, run by one of our experienced mediators, draws on a collection of the skills used by mediators, coaches and counsellors: giving your managers a thorough insight into the psychology of conflict, and building confidence and competence in putting some mediation skills to practical use straight away.
Learn about the benefits of mediation
Gain some basic mediation skills
Separate yourself from other peoples' disputes
We carry out an in-depth pre-course consultation with you prior to delivery, and then tailor the materials and case scenarios to those specific requirements.
All of our trainers are practising mediators with many years of experience. They are also certified adult educators, meaning you’re in capable hands during your training!
ISO-9001 is the internationally-recognised standard for quality management. You can be sure that all of our training will be carried out in an efficient and quality-focused manner.
At any point following your training, you can get in touch with us to discuss queries and ask for advice. We can also provide you with any forms or documents that you might need.
