Description

A disengaged workforce is a key barrier to a high-performing, resilient organization with a good quality of work life. Federal agencies, like other U.S. employers, suffer from a high percentage of disengaged employees. Learn how using well-managed, constructive conflict can grow a more engaged workforce and develop a stronger enterprise. Return home with resources showing that ALL conflict is NOT a problem; the best workplaces are NOT workplaces without conflict; all conflict should NOT be avoided; and a supervisor surrounded by conflict is NOT inherently an ineffective leader!
