Nobody expects workplace violence to happen where they work. But when the extraordinary happens to ordinary people like you and me it rattles your sense of safety.
As a responsible business leader and manager, it makes you wonder what if anything you could have done to prevent the unthinkable from happening where you work.
That’s why I’m excited to welcome Felix Nater, a workplace violence prevention expert, who says most businesses are thinking about this explosive problem all wrong.
* What size a business needs to be before considering workplace violence prevention planning.
* The “red flags” managers should keep on their radar screen to anticipate and mitigate workplace violence.
* Why the term workplace violence includes much more than going “postal.”
* How employees’ home life spills into work life and impacts workplace violence.
* Steps small businesses can take to promote a culture of safety and workplace violence prevention.
* How organizations inadvertently heighten the risk of workplace violence.
* Why effective leadership requires a humanistic perspective to achieve meaningful workplace violence prevention.
* And much MORE.
