Workplace violence and security solutions

Why focus on workplace violence and security?

Workplace violence, in the form of bullying and incivility,has a detrimental effect on mental health, employee morale, recruitment, retention, and the facility reputation.Left unchecked, bullying and incivility can erupt into physical assaults at work, injuries, lawsuits and evendeath. Episodes of workplace violence like these have been documented as a contributing factor in many active assailant events.

Several key pieces of regulation and legislation have been enacted and designed to help prevent workplace violence,advance safety in the workplace, and promote a healthier workforce. Beyond regulation, employers are struggling with the high cost of injury claims and retaining a vital workforce, especially when employees feel insecure about their personal safety in the workplace.
