WEBINAR DETAILS

The modern workplace faces unprecedented challenges. Stress, mental health crises, and frustration can boil over into aggressive, even violent, incidents. Financial institutions and service environments are especially vulnerable, and employees must be prepared not only with the required training, but with real tools to de-escalate, respond, and survive.

This essential session will address the broad spectrum of workplace violence, from aggressive walk-ins and domestic spillovers to tragic active shooter events. We will examine real-life cases, highlight easily missed warning signs, and emphasize the importance of both prevention and preparation. Your team will walk away with practical skills in threat recognition, de-escalation, emergency response, and survival strategies.
