It is extremely important to involve your staff and engage them. Not only does this encourage a high level in terms of morale, but it also helps with retention, especially with younger staff members. Engagement creates a level of enthusiasm and commitment. Staff need to feel they are part of the agency and remain focused on the people we support utilizing the mission of your organization. Outcomes in our field are only achieved when we work together with determination and excitement.
This program will offer practical ideas of how to engage your staff and build a willingness that will help ensure success. The session will help managers and lead staff discover ways to ensure that there is a personalized approach that reflects the particular strengths and skills of each staff member.

In today’s work environment, staff need to prepare themselves for the possibility of a hostile intruder the same way they would prepare themselves for a fire. Unlike that scenario, where everyone evacuates, an active shooter scenario is much more complex. Basic protocols like Run, Hide, Fight are not enough. Where do you run? Where do you hide? What do you fight with? Join us as we help put staff at ease and explore various options that your organization can pursue to give staff a better sense of what role they can play in saving their lives and the lives of others.
Training Objectives:
o A general understanding of active shooter scenarios
o Knowledge of three response plans and their applicability
o The importance of floor plans
o Staff responses for an active shooter scenario
o Police response for an active shooter scenario
o Education on site security measures and site-specific plans
This training is intended for anyone as it affects everyone-from Administrators, Directors, Supervisors, Managers, Team Leaders, and more.

o Ideas that can be presented to staff to improve productivity and effective communication
o Various time management tips
