DESCRIPTION

Over the last 10 years, the workplace has been faced with more behavioral challenges than ever before; from the erosion of civility to remote work, adjusting to hybrid workplaces and the strategic repositioning of many organizations due to unprecedented external and internal factors. Our speaker has worked with numerous organizations facilitating this foundational level course to all levels of the corporate environment.

Successfully surviving a sudden incident of violence is 90% mental and 10% physical skill. This course focuses on the 90% mental while concurrently providing skills to survive the 10% physical, as a last resort. During this session, the primary focus will be on the “Life or Death Gap”, understanding it, being able to recognize trends that set the stage for it, and strategies to successfully manage it. The “Life or Death Gap” is the period of time that you know and understand that you are in danger, and it expands to the time that you are no longer in any danger and the situation is over. It is during this time that there is no one there to save you and the decisions you make may mean the difference between survival or not.

As HR professionals, are primary objective is to foster a positive, high productive workforce. Recognizing behavioral changes and appropriate responses to de-escalate potentially volatile situations is integral to workforce management. During this fast-paced training Blue U Defense will provide an overview of related topics including: recognizing signs of violence & de-escalation, workplace violence, today’s threats, “life or death gap” and others. This course has been designed specifically for HRAGC members and is designed to be engaging and challenge the “industry standards” that create policy, procedure, and training that looks good on paper but, will not work when reality strikes.

OUTCOMES

This program will provide HR professionals with a better understanding of:

The connection of organizational and employee behavior to fostering a highly productive workplace.
The import of developing and evaluating training strategies to increase individual and organizational effectiveness and mitigate conflict, including motivation methods, problem solving, and effective communication.
The import of effective communications strategies while managing risk and employee conflict.
