1. Reduced levels of absenteeism.
2. Improvements in staff retention rates.

4. Happy, healthier working environment.
The Benefits of Corporate Self Defence Training
Many companies provide health insurance and training opportunities for their employees. Forward thinking companies are now recognising that they need to take a proactive role in ensuring that valuable members of staff are safe.
Companies take out various insurances to protect themselves and their staff, but the benefits of this are never seen until damage occurs. By providing self defence training in the workplace the benefits will be seen right from the start.
There are some very important reasons why your company may want to offer self training for your employees. Below are the top reasons why self defence training in the workplace will benefit your company not only financially, but could also improve productivity.
1) When employees feel safe at work they are less prone to the effects of stress.
Stress can have a direct affect on performance and can lead to many illnesses. Through self defence training staff become more confident, calm and less stressed. Lower stress levels leads to less time off due to illness and employees are happier and more relaxed, making them more productive.
2) Self defence training improves confidence.
Staff who have had our corporate self defence training have found their confidence has improved and their self esteem has increased. This has led them to be able to deal with difficult situations in a calm, confident way and overcome obstacles.
3) Self defence training leads to better teamwork.
The training programmes that we provide allows team members to learn important live skills, problem solving skills and gives them the ability to focus better under pressure. Learning these skills with co-workers helps individuals to overcome obstacles and develop team skills in a safe controlled environment.
4) Employees feel more secure and happier in their working environment.
Staff who are happier feel less threatened by change and are less likely to react badly when under pressure. Our self defence training gives staff more confidence and personal empowerment. This can have a positive effect on them and the people they have contact with, be it other members of staff or customers.
5) Self defence training can stop workplace violence before it happens.
With increasing violence in the workplace and rising compensation claims, companies need to protect themselves and their employees. Claims that could cripple a company could be avoided by a minimal quality investment in self defence training.
