Getting Real About Workplace Violence - Run|Hide|Fight 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
• what to do in the event of an extreme violence situation

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 so that learners have the "mental categories" to spot changes in others that could indicate potential trouble and feel safe sharing those concerns.

Because Getting Real About Workplace Violence has an Awareness & Prevention module and a separate Response module, it can be integrated into any organization's WPV prevention plan, regardless of where you are in the process. Depending on your organizational priorities, you can choose to train on Response options first and then work on awareness and prevention, or start with awareness and build on that. 

Through 3 video segments, the program builds overall awareness while providing practical prevention steps and response strategies. A manager-specific module highlights the critical role managers play in identifying concerning behaviors and keeping potentially volatile situations from escalating.
