Organisations are recognising the importance of developing and implementing structures to facilitate conflict resolution and co-operative decision-making.

It also focuses on employment, HR and Industrial Relations issues for managers and executives, including practical tools and techniques for issue identification, conflict resolution and managing unsatisfactory performance.
