Conflicts within team members, stakeholders in a project are bound to happen and navigating workplace conflicts is essential to ensure a harmonious, productive work environment. As a project manager, the first thing to do is to acknowledge that there is a conflict and try to resolve it before it blows up into something big , jeopardising the project.

Conflicts in HR teams are normal, but they don’t have to disrupt progress. One approach I’ve found helpful is to shift the focus to the bigger picture. When team members get stuck on small details, reminding them of the broader goals can help align their perspectives and ease tension.

This gives them a chance to work through their differences directly, which often leads to quicker and stronger resolutions.

To overcome resistance to HR training, the focus is on making sessions engaging and relevant. Emphasizing personal benefits like skill improvement and career growth increases participation. Interactive sessions, including role-playing scenarios, quizzes, and group discussions, keep learning fun and reinforce key points.

This approach creates a positive, productive environment, overcoming resistance and enhancing the effectiveness of the HR training program.
