Workplace Awareness Training

Client Overview

With a team of over 20 employees operating across diverse industries and environments, adaptability and interpersonal awareness are critical to this member’s success. After relocating to a new downtown headquarters, the team made safety and situational awareness a key area of focus. 

Their work environment includes multi-site operations, hybrid/remote flexibility, and a range of diverse roles. Key stakeholders involved in our engagement included the C-suite and the HR/Training Director.

The Challenge

After relocating to a new facility, leadership identified a need to enhance employees’ situational and interpersonal awareness—both for safety reasons and to support more thoughtful engagement in unfamiliar or dynamic environments. Their goal was to instill better habits and encourage self-awareness without increasing stress levels in a period of organizational change.

Our Solution

We delivered a customized training session focused on situational awareness and behavioral awareness using our proprietary SEBA© Method: Situation + Environment + Behavior = Awareness (or Action).

The training included:

  • A walkthrough of common workplace scenarios to assess current awareness levels
  • Hands-on activities tied to real-world examples from their new office and surroundings
  • Discussions and exercises that gradually built awareness, confidence, and practical skills
  • A printable reference handout with exercises for continued development after the session

This approach ensured that the topic—while serious—was handled in a calm, supportive environment to encourage learning without creating additional anxiety.

Training Highlights

  • Introduced the SEBA© framework with challenge questions and group discussions
  • Analyzed the physical office layout and neighborhood to identify awareness touchpoints
  • Integrated interactive exercises to apply concepts immediately
  • Designed with empathy, avoiding fear-based tactics to keep the experience engaging and effective
  • Delivered tools participants could use long-term, both at work and at home

The Results

Feedback from staff was overwhelmingly positive:

  • Participants reported a noticeable shift in how they approach personal and workplace safety
  • Many recognized and began correcting unhelpful habits
  • Exercises were shared beyond the office—used with family and friends as well
  • The training struck the right tone: meaningful, applicable, and easy to engage with

Why It Matters

Awareness isn’t a one-time skill—it’s a lifelong practice. Improving personal and situational awareness helped reinforce a culture of care, trust, and professionalism. Whether working with clients or navigating daily routines, the training gave their team the tools to act with greater intention and confidence.
