Workplace Violence

We have extensive experience supporting clients with the four components of workplace violence planning: prevention, mitigation/threat management, response and recovery. We have worked with clients that had experienced workplace violence incidents, including five hospitals that had experienced shootings, and bring lessons learned to our work. We perform workplace violence program assessments; develop related policies, plans and procedures; and develop and present training programs for all levels of employees and managers.
