Abuse towards frontline workers has nearly doubled since pre-COVID times. In 2021/22, there were over 850 recorded daily incidents, up from 450 in 2019/20 (Source: BRC Crime Survey)
This abuse takes a severe toll on worker’s mental health, prompting them to leave their jobs. Additionally, it results in dissatisfied customers, harm to the company’s reputation, and an estimated annual company losses and insurance claims amounting to £33 billion.
This course aims to assist you in identifying the early signs of confrontational scenarios and equips you with the necessary skills to effectively de-escalate and safely disengage from potentially harmful situations.
This course is suitable for anyone who wants to strengthen their understanding and knowledge of managing conflict, including but not limited to customer service assistants, cashiers, and delivery drivers.
