Modern HR departments need an adaptable and relevant toolkit of approaches to resolving conflicts. From front line negotiation to mediation to investigation to arbitration, there are more than a dozen other approaches that HR professionals need to have available. Learn about the multitude of approaches, and their advantages and disadvantages, so that you can make cost-effective and workplace-effective choices to manage and deal with any conflict that arises.
Paul Godin, the author of "A Practical Guide to Conflict Management System Design" will illustrate the factors relevant to your dispute resolution process choices, adding to your toolkit and honing your ability to choose the right tool for each conflict.
