BACKGROUND
Experts have identified workplace violence as the "...greatest single security threat facing organizations — above international terrorism." Scarier yet — 22.5% of workplace deaths are at the hands of former employees.
Recently, there has been an increase in workplace violence incidents that have occurred after — sometimes long after — the employee's termination. But how do you adequately monitor and manage the risks and ensure the safety of other employees after the relationship has been severed?
That's where we can help. AHI has teamed up with Marc McElhaney Ph.D., a consulting pshychologist in this subject area, to present:
