Dealing effectively with workplace conflicts is a key

and emotions, you will gain an overview of conflict

understanding through structured exercises and

simulations. A DVD will be provided for you to record

In this course, you will learn to prepare for negotiations,

assess your alternatives, build a climate of

collaboration, get beyond stubborn positioning and

develop agreements that work for both sides.

Negotiation skills are essential in daily interactions with

others. Traditional approaches to negotiation promote

competitive tactics, often resulting in unsatisfactory

outcomes for one or both negotiators. Collaborative or

interest-based negotiation aims for agreements that

respond to the interests of both parties. Emphasis is on

skill development through simulated negotiations

assisted by trained coaches. A DVD will be provided for

you to record your role-playing exercise on the final day

of the course.

Conflict in a team situation is challenging and team

members need strategies for positive resolutions. As an

effective team member, you need to identify the

dynamics at play in the team and learn and practice

strategies for intervening to move the group towards

resolution. Through role-play, case analysis and

discussion, you will build your understanding of group

role functions and problematic behaviours that interfere

with the function of the team. You will practice a

collaborative conflict resolution process.

important issue, expressing your thoughts and feelings

work for you. In conflict situations, it can be especially

difficult to maintain an assertive stance rather than

overreacting or selling yourself short.

Student testimonial

Post-Diploma in Human ResourcesManagement

I attended the Continuing Education Human ResourcesPost Diploma Program starting Fall 2011. The curriculumwas very relevant and current to the field of HR. Theinstructors were so knowledgeable of HR practices andhad an abundance of experience to share and draw reallife examples from. As an adult learner, I was able toeasily relate to the material. I was fortunate to land an HRjob during the 9th month of the program. For threemonths the balance of work and school was a challenge,however I could literally apply what I learned in class tomy job the very next day. It was amazing! I since movedinto operations management and I owe this promotion inpart to what I learned in the CNC HR Post DiplomaProgram. Regardless of your position in the businessworld, Human Resources is an asset to specialize in andadd to any portfolio. ~ Nikki
