Description
Conflicts are often inevitable in the workplace. Knowing how to handle disagreements, especially in the workplace, can make a huge difference in your long-term relationship with co-workers, parents, and children. In many cases, conflict arises as a result of stress, especially in high-stress jobs like working with children.
Early education professionals can suffer stress that is induced by a variety of factors, including the responsibilities of caring for children and dealing with parents, schedules crowded with work and required training, and a balancing act between your career and your personal life. Stress can hurt productivity and even cause medical problems – but it doesn't have to be that way!
In this course, we will first examine ways to handle conflict in the workplace, then we will look at various ways you can deal with personal stress to not only reduce conflict, but improve your overall health.
This course will be divided into two parts:
- Part 1 - Conflict Resolution in the Early Care and Education Workplace
- Part 2 - Dealing with Personal Stress
