High Impact and Interactive ARETE Seminars:

1. ARETE OnSide Workplace™
Managing Co-worker Conflict, Harassment and Bullying

Description:
A different approach and it works! This highly interactive and entertaining workshop provides participants with real world skills, confidence and motivation to pro-actively manage a variety of conflicts and unwanted behaviours that are all too common in many workplaces.

OnSide Workplace™ sets the stage and context for a positive shift in how individuals view and respond to workplace conflict. Our Training Specialists present a no-nonsense, straightforward approach that motivates staff to speak up using ‘everyday communication’. ARETE can cover everything from annoying behaviours and bullying to personal harassment, human rights and if requested, escalated co-worker conflicts.

In any workplace, most people understand how to conduct themselves in a way that fosters, enhances, and is generally consistent with a productive, professional, and respectful work environment. Rather than merely educating staff on how to behave or describing “what a respectful workplace is”, most employees, supervisors and managers need the motivation, assertiveness and confidence to effectively speak up and manage conflict early on.

A no nonsense approach to dealing with unwanted behaviours that if not managed effectively can lead to a negative work environment, stress leave, turnover, safety concerns, and reduced productivity.
An immediately useful workshop that your staff will love!
Set the stage for a healthy and positive work environment. Give staff and supervisors the tools to manage conflicts early on, and get your workplace back OnSide.

3. ARETE Personal Safety and Corporate Security (1.5 – 2 hours)

Description:
This 2 hour course is designed to provide your staff with the much needed confidence and motivation to assume a greater level of responsibility for their safety. Participants learn essential skills and strategies for safe responses to threatening situations at work and outside of work.

Despite some of the most advanced security equipment, technology and security guards, security breaches still occur, and suspicious activities go unnoticed or simply unreported.

This is often due to employee’s lack of awareness, motivation to be involved, and fear of embarrassment along with a perceived potential for conflict.

Through this workshop, employees realize that by recognizing the possibilities and having realistic plans, they can enhance their personal safety. They can in turn increase the safety of fellow employees while reducing personal fears and anxiety.
Upon completion of this course, participants will be able to:

• Understand the importance of access control and the critical role they play
• Politely and effectively engage those not wearing passes
• Recognize warning signs and take appropriate actions
• Learn and use personal safety strategies
• Apply ARETE’s Personal Risk Assessment Boundary – PRABTM
• Enhance their personal safety with easy to apply, preventative measures
