The partnership was developed between a professional development association and your organisation. The professional development association delivered seminars on the following skills over the period of six (6) months.

• Critical thinking
• Emotional intelligence
• Conflict resolution
• Collaboration and workplace relationships
• Interpersonal skills

The intended outcomes of the partnership activity are as follow:

However, after the implementation of the professional development seminars, the following were the reporting system results of partner activity:

• A decrease in conflict was recognised. However, the desired intended outcomes were not achieved.

Based on the results of the partnership activity, a survey was conducted with the employees to identify their response to the professional development seminars. The following were the outcomes of the survey conducted:

• The professional development sessions provided knowledge to the employees. However, most of the employees suggested on-job training would be the best methods for increasing employee productivity.
• Further, the employees suggested real-time coaching based on actual conflict resolution would help them identify the triggers to the conflict and help them to resolve them before the conflict takes place.
