Learn how to respond to workplace violence if it does occur in your organization

Going Postal: Preventing Violence in the Workplace Overview

Violence of any sort has many roots. Rarely does it occur without warning (99% of the time, there are warning signs of workplace violence). In most cases, workplace violence is like a thunderstorm, building slowly before exploding.

The goal of this three-day workshop is to develop some tools that can help interrupt the storm. Problem solving tools, communication strategies, anger management processes, and de-stress routines can all help alleviate anger and frustration, preventing the cycle from reaching the stage of violence.
