DE-ESCALATION WEBINARS DURING COVID
As retailers reopen their doors, Michigan Retailers Association is sponsoring free webinars to help you deal with difficult customers. For these webinars we’ve hired Keene Training and Consulting, known for its deep expertise in de-escalation and critical response techniques, so take advantage of this cost-savings by hearing their tips for free!
Dealing with difficult customers during COVID: This training will arm you with communication and de-escalation strategies to handle belligerent customers who don’t want to follow your businesses’ guidelines, such as wearing face masks or properly social distancing.
Active violence in the workplace: If customer confrontations escalate, we want you to be prepared. This training will help you pick up on cues of potentially dangerous customers (or employees) and prepare you to respond to violent incidents.
Because these webinars are done by an outside group, we cannot record them, so make an effort to have at least one person from your business tune in and spread tips to other employees.

- 1 p.m. Wednesday, June 17 – Workplace violence
