Build internal confidence to respond to complex workplace behaviour

Bullying, gaslighting, manipulation, and aggressive behaviour don’t just impact individuals — they undermine trust, increase risk, and place pressure on HR, managers, and leadership teams.

The challenge?

Many of the people responsible for addressing these behaviours haven’t been equipped to do it safely, consistently, or with empathy.

That’s where The People Practice comes in.

Our Train-the-Trainer Programme equips internal leaders with the knowledge, frameworks, and practical tools to manage complex behaviour with confidence and care.

We help your team:

  • Recognise early signs of high-risk behaviour

  • Respond with professionalism and clarity

  • Understand the human impact behind the behaviour

  • Prevent escalation and create safer outcomes for all

This isn’t generic leadership training. It’s trauma-aware, behaviour-focused development that builds long-term capability and wellbeing from the inside out.

Who is this for?

  • HR Directors and Business Partners

  • Senior and Middle Managers

  • Team Leaders

  • C-Suite Executives

Wellbeing Leads / EAP Coordinators / OD Specialists
