One out of every six violent crimes occurs in the workplace. And while workplace homicides grab the headlines... (homicide is the second leading cause of death on the job and the number one killer of women in the workplace)... other forms of workplace violence happen much more frequently. No organization, regardless of size or type of business, is immune to workplace violence.
The training program "Workplace Violence" shows employees how to recognize the warning signs of possible violent behavior, as well as how to avoid or defuse potentially dangerous situations. Areas covered in the program include:
* The nature of workplace violence. * Underlying causes of workplace violence. * The warning signs. * Aggressive behavior. * Threats and verbal abuse. * Sexual harassment. * Physical assaults. * Armed assailants. * Fostering a positive workplace environment.
