Workplace Violence: The Early Warning Signs
FORMAT: DVD
LENGTH: 17 minutes
AUDIENCE: All employees
Experience shows that early attention to the warning signs for targeted workplace violence not only can make workplaces safer but also can improve morale and productivity by minimizing fear and disruption.
This video details 10 warning signs, provides examples and educates employees about the importance of reporting any concerns. This discussion focuses on potential violence perpetrated by employees at work, not by outside individuals coming into the workplace.
A study guide is included in the materials.
The video should be used in conjunction with broader training and education about an organization’s policies and procedures related to workplace violence and security. The videos “Conflicts in the Workplace,” “Dealing with Difficult Citizens” and “Street Smarts from 9 to 5” are good companions to any discussion about workplace violence.
