Toxic workplace behaviour is not a new concept, but it is constantly adapting to keep up with our evolving world of work. The presence of toxic behaviour is not always evident, as it can often be subtle and go unnoticed until it is widespread within the organization. Toxic behaviours can quickly turn into toxic culture and damage employee performance, morale, retention, and mental health and well-being.

This webinar will help employers and HR professionals understand the importance of weeding out toxic behaviours within their organization to improve employee engagement. We’ll also outline the parameters of what is considered toxic behaviours, what these behaviours look like in today’s climate, and provide practical steps to address toxicity.

After a violent incident, it is not uncommon to find that people were aware of clues that violence was being planned. This is because most violent incidents often follow an evolutionary process where signs and indicators can be seen. Yet, without a clearly defined process to gather information and assess the situation, violence prevention is extremely difficult. This webinar provides a communication and decision-making model to help businesses, schools, organizations, and communities become more effective in their management of threats. Viewers will learn strategies to help them identify, assess, and manage individuals who may be escalating towards violence.
