Violence And Aggressive Behaviour In Workplaces

About this Webinar

Unfortunately, we’ve seen an undeniable increase in statistical and anecdotal dangerous behaviour towards our people in retail stores. 

This unpleasant behaviour is a major contributing factor to greater psychological harm in the workplace - an issue employers are beginning to worry about. 

For years, companies have mostly focused their efforts into secondary interventions. Training, employee assistance programmes, mental health first aid (amongst others) are fantastic initiatives, but they’re also the ambulance at the bottom of the hill.

Prevention is far more effective than a cure-based approach. 

This webinar will detail proactive measures employers can take to prevent this unpleasant behaviour. To make the greatest difference, a multi-pronged approach is a must - centred around primary prevention, good design, physical strengthening, and conflict de-escalation 

To bridge the gap between awareness of retail aggression issues, and proactively solving them, this workshop will focus on understanding the psychosocial risks, as well as diving into loss prevention, retention strategies and more. 

Who will benefit

Business Owners and Leaders, Heads of HR, Chief People Officers, Heads of Wellbeing and Safety, Loss Prevention and Profit Protection Professionals, HR Managers, Health and Safety Managers, Health, Safety and Wellbeing professionals and People Leaders.
