An arrest and detention situation can present unique challenges for those being held by government authorities, as well as the organizations they represent.

Organizations may face the impacts resulting from a serious disease outbreak (pandemic) which can have far reaching business and operational consequences, or if mishandled, may impact the reputation of the team. As such, it is critical that leaders understand the complexities of managing a pandemic event, including the typical modes of disease transmission and, so, infection mitigation measures, and how a disease outbreak can then affect business and operations, as well as generate secondary risks through its destabilizing effect on the local population and public health infrastructure.

Political risks present unique and potentially highly impactful organizational risks to many organizations, whether at home or when operating internationally. Political risks can impact a business license, the ability to operate, move funds, compete on work, or result in disrupting stress and tension being placed upon the organization. In some instances key staff may be arrested, detained, or made persona non grata.

Leadership teams are responsible for establishing the decision making structures needed to most effectively manage risk. Understanding the process required to identify primary and secondary stakeholders who are responsible for reviewing human-made and natural risks, and responding to a crisis situation should it occur, is a fundamental organizational mandate.

When an emergent threat is identified, and when a crisis situation is ongoing, or incident has happened, the ability to communicate quickly and accurately with the right people is fundamentally important.

In many environments, overland travel presents the single greatest domain of risk to life safety. Managing this risk requires the adoption of a systematic approach that starts with an assessment of threats posed by the road conditions, locally prevalent driving behaviors and nature and tempo of travel undertaken, and then overlays this with the spatial pattern of threats presented by hostile individuals and groups, and hazards arising in the natural environment.

Hotels, guesthouses and homes provide places for rest, recuperation and comfort, as well as venues for meetings and events. In some environments safety and security will play a role in the selection of these locations, ensuring that both direct and indirect risks are identified, measured and taken into account during the selection process. A failure to understand risks to residential and hotel or guesthouses places people, activities, assets and the reputation of an organization at avoidable risks.

The ability to offer first aid support to sick or injured individuals, especially in a remote region distanced from medical support, or where a crisis has occurred and medical first responders are unable to provide immediate support, can make the difference between a life and death situation. This training provides casualty stabilization awareness training to enable managers and staff to understand the simple techniques by which to stabilize causalities until professional medical help arrives; even when first aid assets and equipment may not be available.

Description of the Diploma

All humanitarian organizations strive to improve the quality and effectiveness of responding to all kinds of emergencies and the complexities that arise with each. Not only do all emergencies come with complexities of different types but also require timely interventions to deliver a maximum impact. Hence, careful monitoring of all the processes from strategizing to decision making and implementation of changes on the ground is very important.

Aspiring women who need to gain a better understanding of what drives and sustains successful female leaders, their personal motivations, and strengths, and how best to work within a demanding organisational environment while maintaining a reasonable balance between work and home life will find this Workshop most useful.
