Why take this course?
Assessing individual and organizational workplace violence risk is now a requirement in most Canadian jurisdictions. Current legislation places a significant onus on employers to alert workers to circumstances and individuals who may pose a risk of physical violence, bullying, harassment in the workplace. In addition, employers must implement policies, procedures and practices on how they will investigate, assess and manage individual situations. These requirements only heighten the need for a robust threat management process as a way of minimizing your organizational risk exposure.

I unreservedly recommend K Calder and Associates for their work in threat / risk assessment, analysis and mitigation as well as in the training associated with these disciplines. I have found Kevin’s work to be professional, timely and accurate, all of which is a reflection of the expertise, diligence and reliability he brings to a project. Kevin has a unique ability to earn and retain trust both with individuals and organizations and gets results while being appropriately sensitive to personal rights and needs. K Calder and Associates are excellent partners to have whether you are in difficult times or simply preparing for them.

We, the general public, are only familiar with what the media reports whenever a serious incident has occurred, but it’s interesting to note that many of these potential threats are defused by advisors such as you… The threat of violence can be negated through identification, assessment and management. Of particular interest was your explanation of the types of workplace violence perpetrators and your breakdown of direct, veiled and conditional threats.
