MANAGING AGGRESSIVE BEHAVIOURS
Holland Thomas is trusted by a wide variety of organisations across multiple sectors to help manage the increasing challenges of aggressive behaviours.
Aggressive behaviours in the workplace can have a huge impact on organisations, their staff and the people they support.
In addition to the significant impact on the staff, clients and bystanders exposed to the aggression, when workers are injured the workers compensation claims can have a major negative impact on the team and the organisation as a whole. Approximately 12% of workers compensation claims are the result of work-related violence*. One average workers compensation claim for work-related violence will cost approximately $40,000. One serious claim will cost upwards of $400,000.
CONTEXTUALISED TRAINING SOLUTIONS
We understand that the language used when discussing aggressive behaviours is influenced by the sector you work in, your organisational philosophy and your values. You might talk about “aggressive behaviours”, “challenging behaviours”, “behaviours of concern”, “behaviours”, “occupational violence (OV)”, “occupational violence and aggression (OVA)”, “work-related violence”, and the list goes on.
We customise our training and consulting solutions to the organisational values, policies, procedures and language of each of our clients.
We have experience across a wide range of sectors. Even if your sector is not shown here, please get in touch to find out how we can help you.

FACE-TO-FACE WORKSHOPS
The M.A.B.™ Staff Safety Training face-to-face workshops offer contextualised training delivered by our specialist facilitators. A key ingredient of the success of M.A.B.™ Staff Safety Training is the experience of our specialist facilitators combined with their people skills to deliver insightful, engaging and interactive training every time.
These interactive workshops incorporate face-to-face facilitation, visual PowerPoint presentations, workshop notes, job aids, storytelling through case studies, group activities, peer-to-peer learning, quizzes and interactive role play.
Typically one day in duration, each workshop will combine an interactive training experience with group learning activities.
The face-to-face workshops maximise both the depth of knowledge presented and the opportunity for learning. Participants will have the opportunity to validate their actions taken in the past and to absorb recommended courses of action for challenges in the future.
Our experience has consistently demonstrated that this approach provides a framework for effectively incorporating learning objectives, maximising individual participation and enhancing learning retention.
eLEARN
The M.A.B.™ Staff Safety Training eLearn provides easy to learn, contextualised, consistent, mobile, and self-paced content for adult learners that can be completed at a time of the learner’s own choosing.
We introduced our M.A.B.™ eLearn to help overcome the practical limitations of speed and ease of delivery associated with face-to-face workshops.
Learners can define their own speed of learning rather than following the speed of the whole group. Also learners can access the M.A.B.™ eLearn content an unlimited number of times during the licence period and can choose to review relevant areas of the learning material at a point of need.
The M.A.B.™ eLearn provides immediate cost-effective gains in terms of training venues, facilitators, course materials, travel and accommodation
