Getting Real About Workplace Violence - Healthcare Version

Effective WPV training requires that employees and managers be taught:

• the many forms workplace violence can take
• how to spot and report concerning behaviors
• response options healthcare workers have when extreme violence threatens patients as well as employees

When done right, WPV training creates a culture where people look out for one another.

This program does all of the above with extra emphasis on awareness and prevention. Learners are provided with the "mental categories" to spot changes in others that could indicate potential trouble and feel safe sharing those concerns. 

• Getting Real About Workplace Violence, Healthcare Version - For employees and managers, this video covers Awareness & Prevention as well as Extreme Violence Response. (20 minutes)
• Advanced Training for Managers  - helps managers become more critically aware as to whether or not an employee might be on a pathway toward violence. (7 minutes)
