The statistics are startling.
The #1 killer of employees on the job is traffic accidents. The #2 killer is
falls. But the #3 killer is murder-and it's #1 for women. In addition, 15
million Americans are threatened or harassed at work every year. According
to Robert D. Sollars, 100% of businesses have been affected by workplace
violence, even if they don't realize it or not.
Tie that in with the 73% of organizations that don't even have a plan to
prevent it.
With the self-isolation beginning to end, along with the exponential growth
of domestic violence since it started.the results will be a higher than the
average 43% of workplace violence incidents resulting from domestic
violence, invading our organizations.
Far too often, managers believe that the solution to workplace violence is
complicated-so complicated that it's not worth investigating, nor even
worrying about with a plan.until it's too late & the company is on the 6
o'clock news. If they do pursue the issue, they too often make the mistake
of thinking that following a cookie-cutter plan from a book or guidelines
from a professional organization is good enough, which it absolutely never
is. Cookie cutters are only good enough for cookies.not stopping death &
destruction. Should we even mention the trauma that could follow someone for
decades, physical, emotional, & psychological?
This book does not have all the answers to the issue of workplace violence.
No single book, expert, or organization does. Sometimes such violence is
unavoidable, as you will read.
Whether you have five employees or 5,000, you need to learn how to reduce
the risk of an incident happening, how best to physically secure your
property, and what constitutes a detailed recovery plan.
In this book's 21 well-organized chapters, you'll learn what workplace
violence is, the surprising places it can actually occur, how to spot the 24
warning signs, how best to communicate with your employees concerning
workplace violence, how you should train them to prevent such incidents, and
much more-all from an expert with nearly 40 years of experience in the
security field.
While Robert has that many years in the field, he offers these ideas from
the perspective of someone who is like everyone else, not a manager, but an
employee of inorganization. In other words, not gobbledygook but plain
observations and ideas.
