Training | WIRE

Our professional development training draws on WIRE’s extensive expertise, research and experience in supporting women, non-binary and gender diverse people. We bring together the theoretical and the practical, so participants can use what they’ve learnt in the real world.

SPECIALISED TRAINING FOR YOU AND YOUR TEAM

We offer specialised professional development training to organisations in all industries including:

phone-based workers, customer service and all external facing industries
frontline workers, managers and business leaders in all industry sectors
professionals from local authorities, the financial sector, money/debt advice services, insurance services, real estate agencies and the housing sector

Our key training programs include:

Dealing with difficult calls training

Learn how to smoothly manage challenging phone calls.

Family violence training

Learn how to recognise and respond to family violence/domestic violence.

An Introduction to Financial Abuse

Learn how to recognise and respond to different types of financial abuse.

WIRE’s training was done in such a respectful way. It was very important that WIRE was not ‘telling’ us what to do and how we ‘must’ manage our customers. Instead, WIRE provided us with loads of information on the background and stats, and some best practice tips and principles to think about when helping our customers experiencing financial abuse.

In-house training advantages

Cost effective and efficient use of resources:

Competing demands on staff time and limited professional development budgets mean in-house training is an effective and efficient way to provide professional development to staff. Reduced or no travel time for your staff means that you can provide valuable training without removing them from their day-to-day work for longer than they have to be.

Content tailored to meet your needs:

How often have you heard people say the training was good but not that relevant? Tailored in-house training enables you to target the specific training needs of your staff.

Team building:

Busy and demanding work schedules often lead to staff missing out on building relationships with colleagues and working as a team. In-house training enables staff to engage in mutual problem-solving, learning together and sharing wisdom.
