Engaging Training That Inspires

Our COVID-19 training program is designed to give staff the skills and confidence to safely and professionally communicate COVID-19 health and safety guidelines in their workplaces. We use current language focused on COVID-19, while allowing flexibility around mandatory vs encouraged use of masks. A leading expert in workplace violence prevention takes participants through the steps of assessing risk via ARETE awareness levels, pre-planning, visualization, boundary setting, gaining compliance as well as key de-escalation strategies.

Effective Strategies to Gain Compliance and Maintain Personal Safety

ARETE’s leading edge training serves to create a shift in how employees perceive and respond to potential conflict with co-workers and escalated customer behaviours related to COVID-19. As a result, workers assume greater responsibility for their safety, while recognizing their critical role in maintaining a safe work environment.

This course made me feel more confident about handling situations related to COVID-19. I really appreciated the examples of how to handle certain situations and how not to handle them. I think that these are really valuable skills to have not only for work, but also for everyday life. I look forward to applying this knowledge at work in the future.
