1. Making a Commitment in Preventing Workplace Violence...
As we approach the beginning of our traditional holiday periods, I wanted to continue keeping the emphasis on the relevant topics of Workplace Violence Prevention and Workplace Security Awareness. Workplace Violence continues to remain on the top three lists of concerns for executives, security directors and those responsible for its prevention.
In the Business & Legal Report, September 21, 2005 edition, Paul Viollis, President of Risk Control Strategies made a presentation at the National Safety Council's Congress & Expo on the topic of Workplace Violence. He said, "With all the available data on workplace violence, no employer can claim credibly that it had no idea of the risk of workplace violence, including domestic violence." He further said, "Employers and safety managers must mitigate the risk of workplace violence by maintaining a "standard of care," which includes having a comprehensive policy on workplace violence, training employees on what is acceptable and unacceptable behavior at work and adhering to best practices of security and access control."
Because of these concerns, I got all or most of my gray hair worrying about Mr. Viollis' very points as applied to the little to no attention the small to midsize business community seems to receive until something happens. Why wait for the aftermath when ample time exist now to prepare properly by taking proactive measures?
2. Why the Concern...?
From a business perspective, Workplace Violence is debilitating at minimum and disastrous at worst. Once the contributory factors are identified, one needs to look at how the behavior adversely affects the businesses bottom line. Therefore, a disruptive act of violence can literally put a business out of business.
The metrics to consider in arriving at the conclusions are based on lower productivity, reduced profitability, poor morale, reduced performance, increased absenteeism, higher sick leave costs and faster personnel turnover, increased employee grievances, investigative resources and time spent and an increase in compensation claims. Of critical concern is the affect of business interruption and continuity related to the crime scene and business disruption. What happens to the operation and those employees involved? What about the possibility of a civil court award for failing to provide a safe workplace or the serious injury of an employee at the workplace or while working?

I recently read an article published in the June, 2005 issue of Fast Co. magazine. Linda Tischler wrote an essay entitled “Death to the Cubicle!” In it, she says ‘Collaboration is great, but sometimes I’d kill for a door.’With the advent of open offices and shared arenas for team communication, the issue of privacy and focus in an employee’s workspace has become more than just privacy and focus. It’s now about job performance and productivity.The article goes on to quote D
