Description

Many industries are required by federal and provincial legislation to have policies and programs in place that address aggression in the workplace.  This workshop has been developed to comply with legislation and to promote the safety and protection of the workforce and business.

This workshop, ideal for those in human resources, corporate security, medical, occupational health, risk management, and/or legal roles, will additionally address legislation. People leaders will be given the tools they need to effectively deal with violence in the workplace. This workshop can be customized to reflect the organization’s specific issues and objectives, as well as the organization’s own current policies and procedure

TELUS Health Learning also offers this workshop specifically for employee groups.
