Challenges Addressed in This Workplace Violence e-Learning Session

Workplace violence is a serious challenge for businesses of all sizes. According to the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health, two million American workers report being victims of workplace violence each year. The consequences of workplace violence can be devastating, both for the victims and for the company as a whole. Victims may suffer physical injuries, emotional trauma, and lost productivity, while businesses may face increased liability costs, employee absenteeism, and disruptions to operations. 

To address thiese challenges, organizations must have policies and procedures in place to prevent and respond to acts of violence. These measures may include security screenings, employee training, and incident reporting mechanisms. By taking steps to reduce the risk of workplace violence, organizations can create a safer environment for employees and help to protect their bottom line.
