Resolving Workplace Conflict in Local Government

Getting along with colleagues isn’t always easy. This is all the more true in local government, where teams often balance competing priorities, tight budgets, and public expectations. But navigating conflict effectively is possible—and it can even strengthen your workplace relationships.

This course will guide you through strategies to address and resolve conflict in constructive ways. You’ll explore why disagreement isn’t always negative, how to have productive conversations about tough issues, and when to seek support—particularly if progress stalls or a situation becomes unhealthy.
