• Maybo's conflict management, personal safety and lone worker training gives housing staff the skills and knowledge to manage challenging situations more safely

    Personal Safety and Conflict Management Training for Housing Services

    Better protect your colleagues, clients and the reputation of your organisation with Maybo conflict management training. Regarded as a leading specialist, we work to develop the confidence and skills of staff, so that they can identify times where their personal safety may be at risk and use effective communication skills to resolve confrontational situations.

    Proven experience and expertise

    Staff working for housing associations often work remotely, are on call for extended hours and have to deal with challenging situations such as dealing with property inspections, disputes and perceptions of unfairness. This can make them vulnerable to confrontational situations where their personal safety is at risk. 

    Maybo training provides teams and lone workers with the skills to communicate confidently and effectively so that they can prevent and defuse challenging situations.

    We believe that great service is also good for personal safety, which is why the development of great communication skills is central to the training that we deliver. This also benefits team members who may work in-house providing customer services.

    With great customer service and positive communication skills, the majority of incidents can be avoided or defused before they escalate and present a risk to the health and wellbeing of your staff, clients or your organisation’s reputation.
