Why undertake Tactical Communications, Managing Aggressive Clients and Resilience Training?
Heightened Risk
Front line staff, including customer service officers, have a challenging task. Delivering regulatory obligations and providing advice to potentially unhappy members of the public, can be stressful and carries heightened risk.
Risk to staff is elevated if carrying out these tasks occurs outside of the office setting. The reality is that sometimes public servants find themselves delivering obligations at someone’s business, their home, on a farm or in an isolated area.
Risk to Staff Outside Office Settings
Risk to staff is elevated if the carrying out of these tasks occurs outside of the office setting. The reality is that sometimes front line staff find themselves delivering obligations at someone’s business, their home, on a farm or in an isolated outdoor environment.
Safe Workplace
Employers have a duty of care to provide front line staff a safe workplace and mitigate workplace risk.
Based on policing, law enforcement and behavioral science best practice, our training goes a long way to meeting these obligations.
