This video learning course addresses a wide range of workplace problems and teaches how they can be recognised, controlled, and solved. Learners explore the three main areas where issues can arise: people, tasks, and resources.
Problems with people may include personality clashes, dangerous, offensive, or illegal behaviour, poor communication, and differences of opinion. The course explains the Equality Act 2010 and its relevance to workplace discrimination. It also covers time-wasting caused by individual actions or poorly organised work systems and provides guidance on ensuring work time is used productively. Additionally, problems with resources, such as shortages of raw materials or equipment, are examined. Learners discover how managers, employees, and external organisations can take action to resolve these challenges.
Finally, the course explores conflict resolution methods including arbitration, negotiation, compromise, conciliation, and mediation, highlighting the benefits these approaches bring to the workplace. For further skills development, learners may also consider our Developing Teamwork course.
