Training Outcomes and Follow-Up
At Lateralus Group, we offer comprehensive Workplace Violence Training designed to equip employees and organizations with the skills and knowledge necessary to recognize, prevent, and respond to incidents of workplace violence. Our training programs are tailored to meet the specific needs of various industries, including educational institutions, healthcare facilities, corporate offices, and government agencies.
Workplace violence encompasses a range of behaviors, from threats and verbal abuse to physical assaults and even homicide. Recognizing and addressing these behaviors early is crucial in preventing escalation and ensuring a safer work environment. The FBI identifies workplace violence as a distinct category of violent crime, requiring specific responses from employers and law enforcement.
Awareness and Education: We begin by raising awareness among employees about the different types of workplace violence and their warning signs. Our training highlights the potential impact of workplace violence on both individuals and the organization as a whole.
Prevention Strategies: Our training emphasizes the importance of implementing clear policies and procedures for reporting and addressing workplace violence. We promote a culture of respect and open communication, encouraging employees to report concerns without fear of retaliation.
De-escalation Techniques: De-escalation is critical in preventing potentially violent situations from escalating. Our training teaches employees how to defuse situations through verbal and non-verbal communication. Role-playing scenarios are used to practice these de-escalation strategies, ensuring employees are prepared for real-world situations.
Integrated Services for Comprehensive Protection:
- Risk Assessments: For a deeper analysis of potential risks and vulnerabilities, our Security Assessments service provides comprehensive evaluations of your security infrastructure, including physical security measures like access controls and surveillance systems.
- Active Shooter Preparedness: For organizations seeking more extensive training in responding to active shooter situations, our Active Shooter Training program covers detailed strategies and drills based on the “Run, Hide, Fight” methodology recommended by the Department of Homeland Security.
Lateralus Group customizes training programs to meet the specific needs of high-risk environments, such as hospitals and K-12 schools. Our team includes experienced consultants who are well-versed in behavioral threat assessment, with certification from the Texas School Safety Center (TxSSC), and workplace violence prevention, including hostage negotiation techniques learned from the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI). This expertise ensures our training adheres to the highest standards of quality and effectiveness.
Upon completion of the training, participants will gain a comprehensive understanding of workplace violence, including how to recognize early warning signs, practical skills in de-escalation techniques, and emergency response strategies. We provide a tailored report outlining the training content, participant feedback, and any recommended follow-up actions. Additionally, we offer an evaluation meeting to discuss the effectiveness of the training and identify areas for improvement.
