Overview

Dealing with the general public on a daily basis normally involves minimum stress. However, there may be times when customer or client concerns escalate into a stressful or potentially explosive situation, for both the staff and the customer.

This course provides workers with an overview of the stresses and pressures that exist when dealing with customers who are volatile and/or hostile.
