Are you missing the warning signs of violence in the workplace?
Despite the rising levels of violence in our society, especially in workplaces, a considerable number of organizations shy away from addressing the issue of workplace violence through training. Our approach aims to overcome this hesitation with content that avoids sensationalizing the problem and instead concentrates on prevention. The course raises awareness of concerning behaviors and builds skills on how to report them when necessary. It covers extreme violence situations in a manner that makes people mindful, not fearful.
Learning Goals
Following Getting Real About Workplace Violence training, your employees and managers will:
- List changes in behavior that indicate a potential for violence.
- Recall two questions that help them recognize early signs of potential violence.
