Occupational Violence Workshop

Melbourne – 14 August 2018

 
Holland Thomas has been invited to present at P2 Group’s Occupational Violence Workshop.

Occupational violence is a growing concern. Within the health sector alone, 25.5% of clinicians have been victimised.

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.

This workshop aims to upskill your workforce in managing the health impacts of occupational violence in the workplace and to provide a framework for a proactive and protective approach.

The workshop will cover:

• What is occupational violence and how does it occur?
• Identifying the early warning signs and environmental risk factors to occupational violence
• Strategies for de-escalating emotive and stressful situations
• Recognising the impact of occupational violence on workers – a physical, cognitive and psychological response
• Developing a protective and supportive workplace culture
• The importance of de-briefing following confronting and traumatic circumstances
• Developing resilience, practical skills and tools to enhance personal wellbeing and the wellbeing of co-workers
