It’s an old saying that the chain is only as strong as its weakest link. When I talk to HR or Security Directors and we discuss the safety of the people in the organisation most have something in place. Depending on the organisation it could be travel safety training, terrorism awareness, kidnap training or abuse…
I have had loads of positive feedback following the release of this report. Your people are one of the organisations most important assets, make sure they are protected. Tony Willis www.beawaretakecare.com #hr #abuseprevention #training #workshop

Workshops are effective as they get people talking about the material you are presenting. I haven’t met anybody who likes being talked at as their preferred learning style. Even worse is the infamous boring PowerPoint presentation where someone reads off the slides. Stories not only give people topics and thoughts to discuss they also kick…
One of the questions I am asked a lot is how to look after your partner. Now this raises a number of questions, firstly why do you think they need looking after or are you overconfident yourself and as a result at more risk than your partner. Maybe your partner should be looking after you….
For someone who teaches people to be aware and how to stay safe tragedies like this leave me saddened but also with mixed feelings. Of course, I believe everyone should have not just the right but the ability to walk alone anywhere at any time. However time and again it has been shown that this…
I see those businesses as 2 sides of the same coin or as someone said opposite ends of the same spectrum. 1 side of the coin is the work I do with businesses, workshops covering awareness, avoiding conflict, and understanding and managing personal risk to stay safe. The other business is my martial arts…
I have lost count of how many times I have heard that. A couple of years ago I held a workshop with a group of women who had suffered serious domestic abuse. The topic of weapons came up with a number of horrific stories and then one said “that will never happen again” and pulled…
Tony was recently interviewed by the editor of Business Travel iQ Amanda Greenwood about how to engage staff in risk analysis and not just leave risk assessments as a dead file somewhere on a server. Story Telling in risk assessments Full Article Here
Wellbeing at work - is that just fancy words and the 2024 version of the much-maligned mission statement.In his book The diary of a CEO, Steven Bartlett discusses rewarding staff and incentives and has this to say ;𝐼𝑡 𝑖𝑠 𝑠𝑡𝑎𝑟𝑡𝑙𝑖𝑛𝑔 𝑡𝑜 𝑚𝑒, 𝑠𝑡𝑖𝑙𝑙, 𝑡ℎ𝑎𝑡 𝑎𝑛𝑦 𝐶𝐸𝑂 𝑤𝑜𝑢𝑙𝑑 𝑏𝑒𝑙𝑖𝑒𝑣𝑒 𝑡ℎ𝑎𝑡 𝑡ℎ𝑒 𝑐𝑢𝑡𝑒 𝑤𝑜𝑟𝑑𝑠, 𝑐𝑙𝑖𝑐ℎ𝑒𝑑 𝑠𝑙𝑜𝑔𝑎𝑛𝑠 𝑎𝑛𝑑 𝑎𝑠𝑝𝑖𝑟𝑎𝑡𝑖𝑜𝑛𝑎𝑙 𝑣𝑎𝑙𝑢𝑒𝑠 𝑡ℎ𝑒𝑦 𝑝𝑢𝑡 𝑖𝑛 𝑒𝑚𝑝𝑙𝑜𝑦𝑒𝑒 ℎ𝑎𝑛𝑑𝑏𝑜𝑜𝑘𝑠 𝑚𝑎𝑡𝑡𝑒𝑟 𝑎𝑡 𝑎𝑙𝑙.I know that many organisations take employee security and safety seriously. However, for some there is still a mismatch between what is in the employee handbook and on the website compared to what the people experience.Wellbeing should not just be sending a few people on a mental health 1st aid course.Some have no training on situational awareness, fraud, and terrorism awareness including radicalisation and the possibility of them or the organisation being targeted. I believe we need to ensure organisations follow the concepts not just a tickbox culture to satisfy their insurance needs.What are your thoughts or experience.#hr #Facilities #safety #selfdefense #security #tonywillis #safety #situationalawareness #training #stalking #counterterrorism #coaching #selfdefenseforwomen #people #workshops #mentalhealth #Wellbeing #learning #staysafe #riskassessment #business #hr #conflictmanagement #people #selfdefence

StalkerThe problem with laws and guidance for what can be very disturbing events like stalking is that those it aims to stop know how to work around the rules.Stalking often comes up when discussing self defence and situational awareness with victims often left feeling unsafe.All too often it seems an assault of some kind needs to occur before they get the protection or at the least interest of their plight they need.#stalking #tonywillis #selfdefense #safety #situationalawareness #security #training
