Managing Incivility and Conflict in Political Discussions at Work

1 SHRM PDC

Have your employees been having discussions about their favorite candidates for the upcoming election, opinions about high surge in immigration, or conflict amongst countries? Your workforce is bound to have varying opinions around the issues our nation is facing, which inherently creates a higher risk of conflict and disrespectful behavior. Politics can evoke strong emotions and political discussions in the workplace can become problematic. We recognize how conversations around politics can escalate and want to give you everything you need to perpetuate positive, respectful behavior in your workplace. Join this webinar to manage employee behavior and diffuse incivility during these politically charged times.

At the end of the webinar, attendees will:

• Implement an effective training program around civil behavior
• Coach managers to foster a civil workplace and address negative behavior 
• Identify strategies for diffusing tense situations and mediating conflict 
• Create a positive workplace culture where employees thrive
• Prepare for the aftermath of what might become a tumultuous post-election work environment
