Handle Violence and Aggression at Workplace​ Course Overview

Aggression and violence are different from each other. Aggression is defined as angry behaviour, whereas violence is a physical force to hurt someone or demolish the property. Workplace aggression and violence describe the angry behaviour between the workers and other people intended to harass, harm, or abuse them. The skills of handling aggression and violence are helpful to recognise situations that could turn into a significant conflict and how to handle it with confidence and maintain positivity across the workplace. Handling methods of violence and aggression in the business can lead to a peer relationship by diminishing the unpleasant behaviour among the workers. Having all these skills are helpful for workers as security guards and the police services, hotel workers, benefits staff, teachers, shop workers, and other people working across the public sector.
