Description: Supervisors face numerous stressors in their roles overseeing the work of their colleagues, on top of the pressure to be productive in their own job. One of the most challenging stressors occurs when conflict emerges within the work environment. Clients, supervisees, and even supervisors can be the source of difficult or disruptive behaviors. These behaviors are often difficult to quantify, hard to prove, and challenging to address. This training will provide practical ways to identify and manage negative behaviors in your work environment.
