Problem Solving in a Workplace

30 minutes, 3 modules. This course covers a range of problems that occur in the workplace - and how they can be recognised, controlled and solved.

About this course

This course covers a range of problems that occur in the workplace - and how they can be recognised, controlled and solved.

You'll learn about the three main areas in which problems can occur - people tasks and resources. Problems with people can include personality clashes, dangerous, offensive or illegal behaviour, poor communication and differences of opinion.

You'll learn about the Equality Act 2010 and how it applies to discrimination. There'll be coverage of time-wasting - due to individual actions and poorly organised work systems - and how to ensure time at work is spent productively.

It'll also cover problems with resources, such as a lack of raw materials or equipment. You'll discover the ways problems can be solved by the actions of managers, employees and outside organisations.

Finally, we'll investigate the use of arbitration, negotiation, compromise, conciliation and mediation to resolve conflicts - and the many benefits these resolutions can bring to the workplace.

What you will learn

  • Identify the main areas that can cause problems within the work environment.
  • Define discrimination and its relationship to the Equality Act 2010.
  • Recognise and understand the implications of time wasting in the workplace and how it occurs.
  • Identify the best ways to resolve situations and understand the benefits of conflict resolution.

Who it is for

This course is aimed at supervisors and managers that want to develop problem solving skills in the workplace. The course can be a great starting point for people new to their leadership role as well as more established managers that want to enhance their skills. This acts as a great introduction to the subject. This course can be sold to individuals who are doing the training for themselves or it can be pitched to businesses who might want to put all of their first line management team through the training, so they all work in the same way and have the same skill set.

Course modules

  1. Introduction and People Problems
  2. Problems With Tasks
  3. Successful Resolutions

Why it is worth doing

CPD approval means that this course can be used by those that need to prove they are continually developing themselves. Understanding why problems occur and having the tools to solve common problems quickly will ensure work runs smoothly. Online training is flexible, efficient and cost effective meaning the candidate can progress through the modules at their own pace and in their own time, so they can fit the training around their work and personal life

Where to go next

For candidates specifically interested in developing resilient teams our Developing Teamwork course goes hand in hand with this one and expands on some of the key ideas and how they can be applied to teams. For candidates new to management roles Managing Meetings would be a great next step although working through any of our range of Business Skills courses would be valuable.

Training is not always the answer. A course covers awareness. Where the law asks for a competent person, a written risk assessment or a system you can evidence, training on its own will not close the gap. Tell us what you are trying to satisfy and we will say plainly whether this course does it.

Questions

Before you enrol

How do I book this course?

Buy it online and the learner gets their login straight away. If you are booking for more than one person, or for several different courses, send us the list and we will quote for the group rather than charging person by person.

How long do learners have to complete it?

It is self paced, so learners can stop and pick up where they left off. The time shown is video content and does not count thinking time on the questions.

Do learners get a certificate?

Yes. A certificate is issued once the learner passes, and you can download records for everyone you have enrolled.

Is the price per person?

Yes, per learner and excluding VAT. Group rates are better than the published price, so ask before booking a team.

Is eLearning enough on its own?

For awareness it often is. Where a duty needs a competent person, a risk assessment or a documented system, training alone will not close it. If you are not sure which side of that line you are on, ask us before buying.
