Workplace Violence Audio Conference on CD

Workplace violence goes well beyond the well-publicized incidents of co-workers being shot on the job. It includes threats and attacks by customers or clients, assaults by criminals, and even domestic disputes that spill over onto the jobsite. Assaults and homicide are now the second leading cause of fatal occupational injuries (after transportation accidents) – and women make up 61 percent of all victimized workers.

There’s no foolproof way to identify potentially dangerous employees or to completely prevent workplace violence. But you can control your risks by learning how to recognize the warning signs and enforcing proven policies to keep your employees safe while they work.

Learn the do's and don’ts of preventing workplace violence during our 90-minute audio conference. You’ll gain hands-on advice for establishing and enforcing standards of conduct for employees, disciplining (and terminating) employees who pose a threat, and dealing with the legal and financial risks of workplace incidents. Plus, you’ll have a chance at the end of this call to submit your own questions about violence on the job, via phone or e-mail.

You'll learn:

  • The “red flags” you (and your supervisors) should watch for when hiring and mentoring employees
  • How to identify possible threats from customers, criminals, or workers’ spouses and partners – and what to do about them
  • The best strategies for disciplining or firing workers who have shown violent tendencies
  • When (and how) to contact law enforcement officials about workplace violence risks
  • How federal laws like the Americans with Disabilities Act may affect the way you deal with employees involved in violent threats or incidents
  • What your attorney, your employee assistance program (EAP), and other resources can – and cannot – do to help you
  • The financial exposure and legal liabilities caused by workplace violence – from workers’ compensation claims to victims’ litigation – and how you can protect yourself

This audio conference was recorded on Thursday, September 27, 2007

Workplace Violence Audio Conference - April 17

Workplace Violence: How to Recognize the Threats and Keep Your Employees Safe on the Job

One in every 20 employers around the United States will deal with violence in the workplace this year. Assaults and homicides are now the second leading cause of fatal occupational injuries (after transportation accidents) – and women make up 61 percent of the victims.

In many cases, the threat comes from inside the organization – for example, a disgruntled employee who shows up at work armed and ready to cause trouble. However, many employers also face the equally disturbing risks of violence against their workers by outsiders – including attacks by upset customers or clients, assaults or robberies by criminals, and even domestic disputes that spill over onto the job site.

There’s no foolproof way to prevent workplace violence threats from outside your organization. But, you can learn to control these risks by recognizing the warning signs, enforcing proven policies to keep your employees safe while they work, and reduce your chances of falling victim to outside threats.

Learn the dos and don’ts of preventing workplace violence from the outside during our practical 90-minute audio conference on April 17. Our expert speaker – a nationally recognized expert in helping employers prepare for the unexpected – will share hands-on advice for safeguarding your workers against violent crimes, improving the physical security of your facilities, and dealing with sensitive issues such as domestic abuse. Plus, you’ll have the chance to post your own questions about outside workplace violence threats during the conference.

You and your colleagues will learn:

  • Proven techniques for recognizing and evaluating potential workplace violence issues arising outside your organization
  • How to identify possible security problems posed by customers, criminals, or workers’ spouses and partners – and what you can legally do about them
  • The “weak links” in physical security that are commonly found in many workplaces – and how you can plug those holes without spending a fortune in the process
  • What you must consider when you involve local law enforcement officials in your preventive planning (in other words, what the police can and cannot do for you!)
  • Why criminals routinely target certain businesses or employees, and how you can counter those risks
  • How you can provide support for workers caught in domestic violence disputes, while also protecting the rights and the safety of their co-workers
  • The financial and legal risks posed by workplace violence incidents – from workers’ compensation claims to victims’ litigation – and how you can protect your organization
