Online Corporate Training Conflict Resolution & ADR - Ripple Learning

Conflict Resolution & ADR Online Training

Online Seminar on how to resolve conflict in the construction industry

This is an open online seminar. You can book as an individual employee or as a team.

Conflict is an unavoidable part of life – and part of every day in the construction industry. Instead of trying to eradicate conflict, successful construction companies give their leaders the skills to resolve it.
This course is for senior managers in the construction industry. It gives them ways to understand and resolve conflict, with focus on ADR (Alternative Dispute Resolution) strategies.

Our one-day workshop combines the Conflict Resolution and ADR (Alternative Dispute Resolution) corporate training and was developed specifically for the construction industry.
