WORKPLACE VIOLENCE Missing The Signs.(MANAGING FOR SUCCESS)(EXECUTIVE BRIEFING)
Fewer than 4% of workers could identify common warning signs of potential violence. Those include changes in mood, personal hardships, mental health issues such as depression or anxiety, verbal threats and past history of violence.
In a recent study, the American Association of Occupational Health Nurses found that nearly 20% of the entire work force claimed to have experienced an episode of workplace violence firsthand. However, said AAOHN President Susan Randolph, "the majority still do not know what to look for when it comes to determining potential offender characteristics."
The group says companies should implement workplace violence education and prevention programs. The Workplace Violence Research Institute says workplace violence costs American businesses $35 billion annually.
