This subject considers employment, HR and Industrial Relations issues for managers and executives, including practical tools and techniques for issue identification, counselling and managing retrenchment. As organisations restructure and social and economic pressures escalate, both personal and organisational conflict is increased. There is a high transaction cost to organisations resulting from ineffective conflict management.
