Conflict, Discipline & Grievance

Description

Conflict is a natural and inevitable part of life. Managers should know how to handle different conflict situations in a satisfactory conciliatory manner. Conflict can be interpersonal, group or organisational and may lead to needless arguments and disputes resulting in lack of cooperation between departments and employees.
Managers need the skills to handle discipline, grievance and counselling. The different skills needed to handle each situation are dealt with. The principles of natural justice include the right to question, defence, and to consistency and fairness of treatment.
