The Exchange Conflict Resolution Program – MPP

Studies indicate that on average, managers and supervisors spend more than 40 percent of their time resolving workplace conflicts.  The Exchange is a bold and proven approach which provides strategies and skills to deal more effectively with these issues. The Exchange is a four-stage process derived from the conflict resolution model used for more than 25 years at the National Conflict Resolution Center (NCRC). Designed specifically for the workplace, this highly structured process facilitates the discussion of issues so that managers can learn to preempt and de-escalate disputes and creatively solve them in ways that can reenergize the workplace, improve productivity, and even bring new ideas to old problems.
