This session will discuss why these behaviours are on the rise and how to effectively de-escalate individuals using an approach of caring, understanding and validating. We will explore how employers can create a comprehensive program and equip workers with the necessary skills to manage violence in the workplace.
This strategy aims not only to prevent violence and harassment, but also to create a safer environment for employees, emphasizing the importance of a psychologically safe workplace. Participants will be provided with a number of free resources to either begin implementing a workplace violence and harassment program in their workplace, or to expand and improve existing initiatives.
