Organizations invest significant time in policies, procedures, and compliance training.

But when employees face a workplace violence incident, active threat, or other high-stakes situation, outcomes are shaped not by what people remember from a policy, but by the decisions they make in the moment. 

Join Chris Grollnek, nationally recognized active threat expert, Katherin Nukk-Freeman, Co-Founder and President of SHIFT HR Compliance Training, and Karen Byington, SHIFT’s Content Director and Certified Workplace Violence Trainer for a conversation on what it truly means to prepare employees for the unexpected. 

Together, they’ll explore duty of care, workplace violence prevention, active threat preparedness, and organizational readiness. The discussion will focus on how employers can move beyond awareness and compliance to build the judgment, confidence, and decision-making skills employees need when situations escalate and every decision matters. 

This session will challenge the notion that preparedness is solely a security issue.

Instead, we’ll examine how HR leaders, people managers, and organizational leaders play a critical role in creating a workplace culture where employees are equipped to recognize risks, respond appropriately, and make informed decisions under pressure.

In this session, you’ll learn:

How duty of care expectations

are evolving for today's employers

What organizations often misunderstand

about workplace violence and active threat preparedness

Why compliance and awareness alone

do not create readiness

How employees make decisions under pressure

and what organizations can do to better prepare them

Practical strategies for building a culture of readiness

without creating fear or anxiety

The role HR and organizational leaders play

in strengthening workforce preparedness

Because preparedness isn’t about expecting the worst.

It’s about ensuring your people are ready for the moments where decisions matter most.
