Workplace Violence

Workplace Violence - A Ticking Time Bomb!

Workplace violence is the fastest growing concern in Corporate America today! No longer can a company sit back and believe or hope that it only happens to "the other guy." The danger to innocent bystanders (customers and non-involved employees) only makes the concern and liability for the employer greater. America is experiencing change in the employee-employer relationship, downsizing, layoffs, and most of all the change in the employee's perception of their role in the workplace. Companies must respond with improved training, better skills in dealing with employee needs, innovative employment practices and total physical security review. The new workforce must adjust and realize that college graduates will change employment 8-16 times before they retire. Companies must prepare for this reality going into the new century!
