As human resource managers, you deal with conflict every day -- from personality conflicts between colleagues, to disputes about performance, discipline, promotions, benefits and awards. Your ability to smoothly mediate and resolve workplace conflict proves vital to your success and plays a large part in how your peers perceive you. Through presentation and demonstration, and by using newly acquired skills during a simple workplace conflict, you will gain techniques to:

-Confidently identify when mediation is needed
-Clarify underlying interests of involved parties
-Generate solution-oriented options
-Create a climate for effective mediation that results in an agreeable resolution
