Workplace Violence - Perth

Workplace Violence - Perth

Ever felt like you're walking on eggshells at work because someone's behaviour makes you genuinely uncomfortable? You're not imagining things, and you're definitely not alone. Workplace violence isn't just about physical confrontations - it's the aggressive emails, the intimidating body language, the verbal outbursts that leave everyone feeling unsafe and stressed out.

I've seen too many good people leave jobs they loved because they couldn't handle the toxic atmosphere created by one person's aggressive behaviour. The worst part? Most organisations don't know how to deal with it properly, so it just keeps escalating until someone snaps or quits.

This training cuts through the corporate nonsense and gives you real strategies for recognising, preventing, and responding to workplace violence. We're talking about practical stuff here - not theory from a textbook. You'll learn how to spot the warning signs before things blow up, how to protect yourself and your colleagues, and what to do when someone crosses the line.

The reality is that dealing with hostility at work affects everyone's performance and mental health. When people feel unsafe, productivity plummets, good staff leave, and the workplace becomes somewhere no one wants to be. But here's the thing - most workplace violence is preventable if you know what to look for and how to respond appropriately.

We'll cover everything from identifying escalation patterns to de-escalation techniques that actually work in real situations. You'll understand the legal obligations your organisation has, what constitutes workplace violence (spoiler alert: it's broader than you think), and how to create a culture where aggressive behaviour isn't tolerated.

What You'll Learn:
- How to recognise the early warning signs of potentially violent behaviour
- Practical de-escalation techniques that work in heated moments
- Your rights and responsibilities when it comes to workplace safety
- How to document incidents properly and report them effectively
- Strategies for supporting colleagues who've experienced workplace violence
- Creating prevention strategies that actually make a difference
- Understanding the difference between assertiveness and aggression
- How to maintain your own mental health while dealing with difficult situations

We'll also tackle the uncomfortable reality that sometimes the aggressive person is your boss or a long-term colleague everyone likes. You'll learn how to navigate these tricky situations without putting yourself at further risk or compromising your career.

The training includes real case studies from Australian workplaces, role-playing exercises that prepare you for actual confrontations, and practical tools you can use immediately. No corporate speak, no unrealistic scenarios - just honest, practical guidance from someone who's seen it all.

The Bottom Line:
Everyone deserves to feel safe at work. This training gives you the confidence and skills to protect yourself and others while maintaining professional relationships. You'll leave knowing exactly what to do when faced with aggressive behaviour, how to prevent situations from escalating, and how to create a workplace environment where violence simply isn't tolerated. It's not about becoming confrontational - it's about being prepared, professional, and protected.
