"It Can't Happen Here":
Preventing Workplace Violence

Sky-high unemployment PLUS mounting economic pressures on families have combined to cause the "perfect storm" - the most violence-prone workplaces in a generation. OSHA reported that workplace suicides increased significantly last year. In addition, the recent murder of a Yale University student demonstrates that every organization can be hurt by workplace violence. The only common element - managers and executives who were sure "it couldn't happen here."

Angry employees who threaten co-workers and perpetuate violence are unfortunate realities in today's workplace. We are experiencing an epidemic. Learn what you can do to protect yourself. Know the warning signs and symptoms before an outbreak occurs in your organization.
