Description
This course seeks to help employees understand the circumstances that can trigger violence in the workplace and to offer strategies for preventing the escalation of the conflict. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, in the US, 17% of the 4,609 work-related deaths in 2011 were attributable to violence, of which 458 instances were homicides (US Department of Labor, 2011). Workplace violence includes a range of acts such as assault, stalking, bullying, robbery, and harassment. This course will help employees to recognize early warning signs of potential workplace conflict and the actions they can take to prevent situations that may lead to workplace violence.
