A multitude of unique stressors contribute to the high prevalence of burnout in the field of mental health. Interpersonal conflict is one of the most common contributing factors to burnout, but seldom receives attention in burnout prevention initiatives and training. Unaddressed, workplace conflict and burnout can contribute to a multitude of problems related to performance, service delivery, quality of care, workplace culture, and turnover.
In this four hour training, clinicians will learn about the most common types of workplace conflict and the factors that contribute to them. Participants will learn about different communication and conflict styles, including counterproductive behaviors and defense mechanisms that can escalate workplace conflicts. Information will also be presented about specific conflict resolution, de-escalation, and mediation skills employees and managers can use to address conflict more effectively in the workplace.
As a result of participating in this training, attendees will be able to:
- Identify one or more common causes of workplace conflict
- Identify and explain the 5 different conflict-management styles
- Identify three or more potential consequences of workplace conflict
- Describe the steps involved in effective workplace conflict resolution
