Program Professional Framework
Conflict Resolution Professional Tools and Skills
Program Overview
Unresolved workplace conflict drains productivity, damages relationships and often escalates into formal grievances. This programme equips professionals with practical tools to diagnose conflict, choose the right response and lead constructive resolution. It covers sources and stages of conflict, the five conflict-handling modes, interest-based negotiation, managing emotions in difficult conversations, and a structured approach to informal mediation between colleagues. Attention is given to culturally sensitive conflict handling in diverse Gulf workplaces, where face, hierarchy and relationships strongly shape how disagreements are expressed.
