Workplace Violence Dealing with a National Epidemic

Over the past 10 years the number of managers killed in workplace violence episodes has doubled.

This timely program examines workplace violence by looking at: 1. The problem; and 2. The solution. The first few minutes of this film illustrate the financial costs and personal impact of workplace violence, and then presents real-world solutions. It shows what each individual can personally do to reduce the chances of violence happening where they work. It also shows how "environmental design" can help reduce the threat of violence.

The film covers a broad range of topics. Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design (CPTED); how to identify warning signs; how to keep potential perpetrators out of a business; how to find out if someone has a history of violence; how to effectively train employees and managers to be part of the solution; reducing common threats; reducing risks associated with layoffs; how employee assistance programs reduce violence; utilizing the resources of law enforcement, and more.
