When the Worst Happens?
One-day disaster management training course held at your premises
Our acclaimed on-site training course for managers, provided by disaster management specialist Rosie Murray, helps companies prepare for the worst if an employee is killed or seriously injured in a road crash, or affected by a road crash involving someone else, such as a family member dying or being seriously injured. The course examines issues such as: how to help people affected by tragedy to cope with their grief and trauma; counselling and medical services; practical assistance employers can offer; helping families to cope; and much more. Rosie Murray has worked with families affected by major disasters including the Tsunami, the July 2005 London bombings, and some of the many road crashes that occur daily on our roads. We charge a highly competitive £520 plus travel expenses for up to 10 delegates (only £52 per delegate if 10 people attend).
Steve Wilkins, Senior HR Executive for FedEx Europe says: “This training has provided us with an invaluable insight into the needs and concerns of our employees, during their most unenviable times and situations. As with most insurance policies, this is not training that we ever hope to use, but reassurance that should the situation arise, we are better equipped to support our employees in the best way possible.”
