psychology for business

Tailored Programs for Development and Growth in Business


Conflict within or between functions can often be extremely destructive and costly not only to an organization, but also to the individuals involved.

Conflict frequently arises because of the (often incorrect!) assumptions that people make about others and their subsequently resulting, negative (often destructive!) behaviour towards them. Once opinions have been formed, even though they may actually be incorrect, people often find it very hard to shift these and the spiral of ever-deepening conflict has been set into place. Most of today's organizations cannot afford these conflicts because their effectiveness depends on their people working closely together.

How can psychology for business help?

Psychology for Business offers specifically designed interventions for individuals or teams involved in conflict situations.

Conflict resolution work usually starts with an assessment of the whole situation, to establish the history, cause, maintenance and effect of a particular conflict. This often involves separate meetings with the key people involved and their managers, following which a suitable intervention will be designed.
Conflict resolution helps people work on understanding each other's personality preferences, the similarities and differences in their approach to work and life and how they can set into place lasting, more productive relationships at work.
