This and other important workplace violence issues are presented in detail in Workplace Violence 101, a workshop that has trained hundreds of managers, supervisors and employees in their own place of business.

Workplace violence is a pervasive and deadly phenomenon that could strike anywhere and at any time. Your first line of defense is awareness of the subject. This workshop provides the awareness you need.

The emphasis of this workshop is the prevention of workplace violence. The course of study was carefully crafted to convey to the attendee behaviors and conditions that have led to violence in other situations and how to take affirmative steps to avoid them. An in-depth discussion of the mindset of the workplace killer will further assist attendees in recognizing some of the warning signs of impending violence. Basic defusing techniques provide attendees with the tools necessary to prevent, or deal with, a violent verbal confrontation.

By the end of the workshop, attendees will be able to establish or enhance violence prevention efforts in their organizations. They will also be able to identify and eliminate organizational risk factors which have contributed to violence in other organizations. In doing so, employee safety awareness is increased and organizational liability can be significantly reduced.

This course has been taught to people at the executive, management and supervisory levels of federal, state and local agencies of government as well as the private sector. Aspects of this course have also been taught in Canada and Japan.
