About what:
Training allows acquisition of competencies in personnel management in a manner whereby the employees themselves resolve their conflicts. Disputes in organizations are the order of the day. They concern such issues as: performance assessment and work organization, discipline, division of responsibilities and competencies, discrimination, mobbing, sexual harassment, disputes over employees’ leaving the company. They risk of labour court proceedings. Conflicts involve employees regardless of their functions in the company. Misunderstandings occur both inside teams and between employee groups. Resolution of disputes for the employees, that is deciding for them what the solution should be, almost always fails. Irrespective of how hard the arbiter tries to be fair, after a ruling is issued by the boss or HR director, just like after a court ruling, there is a winner and a loser. In most cases this leads to a further aggravation of the conflict, employees stop being independent and feel released from the responsibility to resolve their problems.
Participants about the training:

A very good atmosphere, small group, possibility of practical exercises.”
