Workplace Violence Instructor-Led Course

Navigate Conflict and Build Safe Work Environments

Workplace violence prevention is critical for every organization in order to make their employees feel safe. The repercussions of acts of aggression or threats extend far beyond physical harm – the lasting consequences of these acts greatly impact the individuals involved, as well as the overall well-being and productivity of the work environment. Chronic, unresolved, or improperly managed conflict in the workplace can serve as a catalyst, transforming a situation from mere frustration into full-fledged acts of violence.

Addressing this critical concern, our program, Workplace Violence: Prevention & Response, aims to empower participants with the skills and knowledge necessary to recognize and manage distress and anger in others. Beyond mere recognition, the course delves into comprehensive strategies designed to minimize the conditions within the workplace that contribute to employee discontent.
