Why invest in training for your front line staff?

Enhanced staff safety: Staff have the appropriate knowledge and skills to keep themselves, other staff and other people at the facility safe

More confident and effective staff: Staff are empowered with the knowledge and skills to handle ‘difficult’ or ‘challenging’ people which enhances their mental and emotional wellbeing.

Enhanced security of property and assets: Appropriate training of staff combined with a safety and security review of the physical layout of the publicly accessible areas of your facility increases not only the safety of people but also the security of your assets.

Meeting your organisations legal and moral obligations to provide a safe working environment: Not only are you fulfilling your legal obligations under Health and Safety legislation to provide a safe working environment, you are also fulfilling your moral obligations as a good employer to ensure you are keeping your staff safe and healthy.
