How to spot potential conflict and what to do about it.
Managing conflict in a retail setting has always presented challenges, with the usual flashpoints being around refunds, refusing service and shoplifting.
In the wake of the global pandemic, the role of the retail employee has grown to include managing queues, panic buying and encouraging social distancing and face masks.
This has led to a significant rise in abuse, violence and aggression towards retail employees, doing their best in difficult times and with often ambiguous and unclear guidance.
There are times however, where the actions of staff, whether intentional or not, really do not help things.
Security guards, CCTV and body cameras can help, but with a greater focus on the latest gadgets and technology, let's not forget the most fundamental tool in the toolbox: Communication skills.
In this course we are going to look at what you can do to help prevent and manage conflict to reduce the risk of violence and aggression where you work.
Our team of conflict management specialists have come together to provide you with evidence based guidance in this online awareness course. We've developed this course to be just as engaging and interactive as our face to face programmes.
