Active Armed Offender Incidents can occur at any time, in any place, and usually without warning. Key learnings from recent incidents that have occurred in Australia, New Zealand, and overseas, unfortunately demonstrate that workforces are often unprepared for these significant emergencies in and around their workplaces and have limited strategies in place for prevention, response, and recovery.

About This Training

In this course, you will learn practical, best practice strategies that will enable you to make the best decisions possible during an active armed offender incident to ensure that you remain safe and you are able to go home at the end of an incident.

These 1 or 2 hour courses are designed to be quick and informative and provide participants with a greater comprehension of what will be expected of them during an AAOI. These training sessions can be facilitated either face to face or via an online platform (i.e Microsoft Teams).

What Is Included

Training sessions and workshops will be purpose built to align with your organisation’s key strategies, procedures, operations, and unique environments. Content will be tailored and can include:

  • Incidents in your workplace

  • National Storage has a critical focus on the safety and security of our team. Workforce Resilience was asked to assist us with building employee capability in preventing and de-escalating confronting situations on the frontline.

    While the training was initially presented to the broader State management team, it was quickly identified that the solution and the tools provided would be highly beneficial to all of our employees on the frontline.

    Over the past 12 months Scott and the Workforce Resilience team have travelled across Australia to deliver this critical training which is always followed by positive group feedback on content and delivery.

    The content is always customized to our needs and available timeframes, and the delivery is exceptional. Scott and his team have a perfect mix of hard-hitting facts and impactful examples delivered in an anecdotal and memorable way.

    Workforce Resilience was recommended to me as the expert in this space, and I would not hesitate to recommending them to other organisations who take the safety and security of their team seriously

  • It’s been awesome continuing to work with Scott Harris and Workforce Resilience, while they coach our team on comms, de-escalation of conflict and staying safe. Feedback from our store leaders has been extremely positive, loving the face-to-face training, connection and open conversation to improve their skills when approaching a difficult situation.
    We have covered 225 stores across NSW/ACT, and thanks to Jeanette Fenske and Ben Sheidow for driving the Conflict sessions nationally, a further 213 stores completed and now into BigW and Metro. The last 3 days we have worked with the amazing Jessica Phillips trainer, who works for Workforce Resilience. Jessica coached our store leaders on skills in reading a situation, reading body language and staying clear when needed. At the same time showing genuine authentic CARE with empathy’.
