Violence Prevention and Management
We live in an increasingly violent world and your company may be experiencing
increased threats and/or acts of violence.
Violence is On the Rise
A safe and productive workplace is in everyone’s interest, but the
number of violent acts, including threats of violence, has increased
over 400% over the last decade. Education and expert intervention
before a problem happens can save employers considerable time,
resources and legal fees, and most importantly, protect your most valued
resource: your employees.
Did you know?
- The risk of being attacked is 7 times greater in the U.S. than in
Europe.
- The number of managers killed has doubled over the past 10 years.
- Only 40-50% of workforce victims report crime to the police.
Workplace violence can occur internally (co-workers, self-inflicted)
and externally (customer/employee, domestic violence, robbery/assault/rape)
and can be physical or non-physical.
The Cost of Violence
Organizational productivity and culture is severely impacted by and act
of workforce violence:
- Lost work time (average of 3.5 days per incident for those directly
impacted)
- Increased Security and Facilities Repair Costs
- Attorney’s Fees (High Probability of Litigation)
- Increased Workers Compensation Claims and Costs
- Increased Medical Claims
- Increased Incidences of Organizational and Individual Stress
- Significantly Reduced Performance and Productivity
- Negative Publicity and Press for Your Organization
