The importance of conflict resolution in traffic management

With recent news reporting that it will soon become a requirement for those who work in traffic management roles to attend a conflict resolution training course, nurturing conflict resolution skills and strategies in a professional capacity has never been so important.

As a profession responsible for planning, coordinating and monitoring the movement of vehicles, their drivers and any cargo from one location to another, traffic managers have a lot to contend with. Planning logistics, optimising routes and keeping the lines of communication open with internal teams, suppliers and customers comes with a particularly high risk of conflict.

Read on to discover what traffic managers everywhere could gain from the knowledge our Conflict Resolution Train the Trainer course makes possible.

Enhanced communication skills

Great communication skills are a prerequisite when working in any traffic management role. Without the right management and resolution, conflict can so easily diminish the communication skills you’ve spent a whole career building.

Our Conflict Resolution Train the Trainer explores the three areas of communication with delegates to help their own trainees develop the most effective methods of communication, overcome conflict and get results from day-to-day.

A deeper understanding of conflict

Before conflict can be resolved and defused, it has to be understood. Throughout our two-day syllabus, our delegates will delve deeper into conflict to ensure a broad understanding of its different facets.

Conflict comes in many forms, but by visiting the most common causes affecting the traffic management sector and other key industries, it can be prevented and resolved as simply and speedily as it arises.
