Taking Control of Workplace Violence

Managers and supervisors must be trained to respond to resolve violent incidents before they explode. This course helps them recognize, understand and deal with warning signs or threats, and teaches them how to defuse situations and assist troubled employees. They learn to use internal and external resources; how to use training to lower risks and improve employee relationships; how to safely hire and fire employees; and how to effectively respond to emergency situations.
