Part B – Scenario’s
Your task:
Read the following scenarios and answer the corresponding questions for each.
Scenario 1:
You are working as part of the wait staff at a local restaurant. A customer you are serving has called you over to
her table and has complained that she has found a hair in her meal. However, she has finished her meal and there
is no hair to be seen. She is visibly unhappy and demanding a refund. This is not the policy of your restaurant.
1. Name 3 conflict resolution techniques and explain how you will use these to resolve this conflict:
Scenario 2
You are working at a hotel that is popular with international tourists. A foreign tourist approaches you with a
complaint about his room, but you are struggling to understand his concerns due to his accent and language
barrier. You begin to understand that the customer has an issue with the cleanliness of his bathroom. He is
becoming agitated, aggressive, raising his voice and speaking quickly. He has crossed his arms and looks stiff and
tense, as well as frowning at you. How will you manage this customer’s complaint? Answer the following
questions based on this scenario.

2. How could you overcome this communication barrier?
4. What actions can you take to prevent this situation from happening again in the future?
5. What actions could management take to assist employees to improve their communication with international
customers?

Scenario 3
Some hostility has been occurring among your work team as Sarah and James always receive the weekend off,
and the rest of the team is required to work both Saturdays and Sundays. The other employees are beginning to
resent Sarah and James for always receiving the weekend off work. The team rarely works with Sarah and James
due to this rostering, and when they do, there is conflict. The other employees hold fixed opinions about Sarah
and James and as a result, the working environment has become tense and there has been a lot of gossip. The
conflict has not been resolved, and is therefore increasing in severity. As a result, arguments have occurred
between Sarah and other employees. There has been a notable decrease in productivity.
Using the scenario, apply the situations to the relevant parts of conflict theory listed above. Which
aspects need to be addressed by you as the manager?

the other team members.

3. During the initial stages of this conflict, team members were uncomfortable about the rostering situation but
did not argue about the issue. Describe the stage of conflict that this situation has reached. What will happen
if it is ignored further?
4. How can you use communication techniques to effectively manage the conflict within your team and work
well with the other members?
5. How can management work with you to determine and implement a possible solution to this conflict?
/conversion/tmp/activity_task_scratch/692574785.docx
Scenario 4
A customer at your bar appears to have become drunk and disorderly. He is knocking over drinks, talking loudly
and has begun arguing with a new staff member working next to you at the bar when she refuses to serve the
customer. You notice that his behaviour is becoming increasingly threatening to customers and your fellow staff
member, who is becoming frightened of the situation.
2. What actions will you take and what resources can you use to effectively address this situation and prevent
escalation?
3. Which documentation do you need to complete in this instance? List 3 instances which must be recorded
associated with conflict situations in a workplace and explain the reasons why this needs to occur.
