PROFDEV: TOOLBOX DEVELOPMENT Violence Prevention in the Workplace For Supervisors
Hours: 1
| **NOTE: FOCUSED ON SUPERVISORS, DEANS, DEPT. CHAIRS. Support Staff Welcome.**
Research shows that violence in the home follows victims into the workplace and often results in absenteeism, low productivity, and turnover. In this session we will discuss the prevention of violence in the workplace as well as how to deal with it should it actually occur. We will discuss risk factors that may increase this behavior and also indicators of problem behavior. Once we know the risk factors and indicators, we will move on to the proper response to workplace violence, what employers can do, and how employees can protect themselves.
