In today’s volatile environment, managing workplace violence risk is a must. In this session, you’ll gain awareness of historical workplace violence events and societal trends, the ability to spot warning signs of troubled employees, an understanding of what happens to the body and mind when violence unfolds, and best practices for mitigating workplace violence risk.
