Give people practical skills to handle difficult conversations, workplace conflict and challenging interactions before problems escalate.
iHR Australia offers programs for managers, HR professionals and teams covering difficult conversations, workplace conflict, challenging customer interactions, critical incidents and broader communication skills.
The focus is on practical approaches people can use in real workplace situations.
This program helps managers and team leaders build confidence in handling workplace conversations that may feel difficult, sensitive or uncomfortable.
Participants explore what makes conversations challenging, how to communicate clearly when emotions are involved, the value of timely and constructive feedback, and how to maintain effective communication through change and uncertainty. The focus is on building stronger everyday communication and engagement, rather than managing performance or conduct issues.
Designed for:
Managers and team leaders who want to strengthen their confidence and communication skills across a range of workplace situations.
This program helps participants recognise how assumptions, communication preferences, experience and unconscious patterns can influence workplace decisions and relationships.
The focus is not on labelling people; it is on increasing self-awareness and improving the quality of judgement, communication and inclusion.
Participants examine how bias and difference may appear in recruitment, delegation, feedback, meetings, development opportunities and everyday interactions. Practical activities help teams slow down decision-making, test assumptions and communicate across difference with greater curiosity and accountability.
Designed for:
Employees, people leaders, HR teams and decision-makers involved in people and team decisions.

This advanced program equips HR and People & Culture practitioners to assess conflict, choose a proportionate intervention and facilitate structured resolution conversations.
It examines the causes and dynamics of workplace conflict, readiness to participate, impartial preparation, active listening, reframing, managing emotion, breaking impasse and developing realistic agreements.
Participants also explore when HR should not attempt informal resolution, including situations involving serious allegations, safety concerns, significant power imbalance or a need for independent investigation. The program builds judgement as well as facilitation technique.
Designed for:
HR, People & Culture and workplace relations professionals who support or facilitate workplace conflict resolution.
This program helps customer-facing employees and leaders respond to challenging, aggressive or emotionally charged interactions while protecting safety, professionalism and service standards.
Participants learn to recognise escalation, regulate their own response, set respectful boundaries, use practical de-escalation language and seek support at the right point.
Scenarios can reflect the organisation’s service environment, customer commitments and known risk situations. Manager content can also address team preparation, incident support, reporting and the role of leadership after a difficult interaction.
Designed for:
Customer-facing employees, frontline teams, supervisors and managers.
iHR can develop a targeted communication program where a standard workshop does not match the organisation’s capability need.
Modules can address workplace communication fundamentals, feedback, active listening, team communication, stakeholder management, influence, presentation, meeting practice or communication through change.
The content, level and delivery sequence are designed around the audience and the workplace outcome required. A program can be delivered as a standalone workshop or combined with coaching, team sessions, eLearning and practical application between modules.
Designed for:
Employee groups, professional teams, managers, project leaders and organisation-wide cohorts.
