Bespoke Consultancy
What can we do for you?
Abacus offers consultancy on a variety of role specific areas. In many cases the solutions start with a review of where and when the problems have arisen and the underlying causes. The Abacus Review will help ensure that limited resources are used while effectively tackling conflict and violence.
The Abacus Workplace Conflict Assessment (AWCA) can examine organisational policy and service delivery. At a job-specific level it will establish the specific needs relating to the roles and tasks performed and identify risk control measures that can be implemented.
Role Specific Consultancy
Instead of a full departmental or organisational review our specialists can target specific areas of concern such as high-risk jobs roles or activities. We can help address an organisation's staff concerns and provide a balanced approach. Our specialists can advise on specifics such as Violence Risk Assessment, Reporting Systems and Risk Registers.
Creating management tools
Abacus has the ability to work with an organisation in the design and development of management tools and learning resources that contribute to a safer environment. Although the principles of Violence Risk Management cross boundaries, every organisation has a 'unique DNA' and Abacus will help design resources that fully embrace and integrate with the culture, goals, systems and values of your organisation. This makes change possible and is the key to a sustainable organisational strategy.
We offer a range of discreet and specialist training solutions designed with your company in mind and with due regard to confidentiality and privacy.
