Resilient workplaces training

When we have staff who are respectful and caring combined with a positive workplace culture, this can lead to disclosures of abuse and harassment. For many of our staff who hear these disclosures, this can have an impact upon their wellbeing.

We can’t avoid these conversations within the workplace, however, what we can do is to build our resilience to respond effectively to these.

Workplace resilience training supports your staff to identify, manage and respond to these challenges more effectively.

Purpose

This training provides a learning experience that enables participants to develop the practice skills to recognise, understand and better respond to stress.

The training will support to increase staff self awareness and empowerment so that they can understand the impact of stress, mental health and vicarious trauma.

Through ensuring staff are aware of their own needs, can identify when to seek support and when to connect with others, this can enhance staff safety and wellbeing, reducing absenteeism and increasing workplace engagement.

Learning outcomes

Understanding the difference between good stress vs bad stress and developing an awareness of the individual’s stressors and emotional responses at work.
Developing an understanding of resilience and how to form resilient teams.
Creating a self care plan and identifying when an individual is in most need of support.

Workplace Respect has the skills and experience to provide individual supervision to aid professionals, leaders and employees.

We offer specialist supervision and coaching. These sessions are adapted to an individual’s need and can include debriefing of complex cases or broader individual support. Our supervision is delivered in a trauma informed, solution focussed and strengths based approach.

We also can offer Professional Supervision which meets Social Work registration requirements.

Group supervision

Workplace Respect understands that working collectively can provide further individual support and is able to provide group supervision. This can support teams through complex case facilitation and reflection. Teams will be able to safely and collaboratively unpack case scenarios whilst being inclusive and respectful, which can enable group learning and growth.

These sessions can also include Critical Incident debriefing if required.

Policy review and development

We know that effective policies and procedures are living documents that must grow and adapt with a company. While the core elements and the intent of a policy will likely remain the same, the details of how to make it happen need to adapt to the changes in our community, industry and organisation.

Regular policy reviews are an important part of every policy and procedure. We recognise the important task of creating domestic and family violence and sexual harassment policies that are industry specific, trauma informed, respectful and inclusive and meet best practice standards.

Ensuring your staff understand how to support and respond to individuals impacted by abuse and harassment, demonstrates that as a workplace are able to prevent and respond appropriately which ultimately, can be life changing.
