BRANSON, Mo. -- University of Missouri Extension, Taney County SBTDC and Missouri Training Institute are excited to offer a “Guiding Conflict Resolution in the Workplace” class from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Friday, Feb. 14, 2014 at Hawthorn Bank, 4675 N Gretna Rd, Branson.

This workshop is targeted toward small business owners, managers and employees who want to foster healthy conflict to promote creativity, innovation and improved team performance.

Family financial education specialist, Nellie Lamers, with University of Missouri Extension will be facilitating this information packed small business workshop.

Participants will learn to recognize the progressive stages of conflict; identify their own conflict management style; explore how to become more versatile in conflict management; learn to communicate effectively in tense situations; and explore a six-step process for working through conflict in a more collaborative way.

“When conflict escalates, it can cause serious problems for businesses. Often, it decreases morale, causes rework, and is detrimental to overall employee productivity.  This workshop is a great opportunity to learn how to promote healthy conflict, keep disruptive conflict to a minimum, and identify strategies to more effectively work toward conflict resolution when it does arise." said Chrystal Irons, business development specialist, University of Missouri Extension.

The cost to attend the workshop is $185.  Advanced registration is requested and can be done by calling (417) 546-4431 or emailing taneyco@missouri.edu.
