 Workplace
violence is violence or the threat of violence against workers. It
can occur at or outside the workplace and can range from threats
and verbal abuse to physical assaults and homicide, one of the
leading causes of job-related deaths. However it manifests itself,
workplace violence is a growing concern for employers and
employees nationwide.
Training is necessary for employees, supervisors, and the staff
members of
each office that may be involved in responding to an incident of
workplace violence. Training sessions can be conducted for the
agency’s Human Resources Division, Security, and Employee
Relations staffs, enabling employees to get to know experts within
the agency who can help them when potentially violent situations
arise.
Employees and supervisors seek assistance at a much earlier stage
when they personally know the agency officials who can help them.
I make sure and cover the types of training that have proved effective in
preventing violence and other threatening behavior.
