Workplace violence is a threat to everyone, and incidents often go unreported. The best defense a company has to ensure the safety of their employees is to create awareness of the issue:
- Enforce an anti-workplace violence policy.
- Encourage employees to report incidents or threats.
- Make it known that violence in the workplace will not be tolerated.
By being proactive against workplace violence, you ensure the safety of your employees, and fulfill any legislated obligations as an employer (if applicable).
