#4: VIDEO ROUNDTABLE – Lessons Learned – A Security & Risk Roundtable – May 29 — 1 PM EDT

A successful workplace violence prevention program should be based on the implementation of effective programmatic elements that drive the program forward. These elements include multidisciplinary involvement, risk assessment, threat assessment and management, policy, documentation, and training. So, what does implementing a good workplace violence prevention program entail for organizations? Some clear fundamental building blocks must be in place to withstand legal scrutiny; but it is more important to simply do the right thing to protect staff from acts of workplace violence, ranging from a lack of civility and verbal abuse to lethal attacks with a variety of weapons.

• Statistics are a strong reminder that violence in the workplace is more common than we might think, but workplaces can take specific measures to prevent and lessen the impact of violence. When you know how to prevent workplace violence, you can be part of the solution and make your company a safer place for all employees. This webinar will deal with best practices for preventing workplace violence and how to integrate technology into a mitigation solution.

  Main Learning Points:

• Why workplace violence prevention begins with hiring. Conducting a thorough background check on potential employees and having strict vetting process is mandatory
• How harassment and bullying create an offensive work environment and subsequently often serve as a warning for violence. Why creating a policy to prevent harassment is a crucial step in preventing the possibility of violence
• How do you establish strict anti-violence policies and how these policies can empower your team to report violent and harassing behaviors and other signs of danger
• How to build out a security monitoring strategy and properly manage visitors and vendors. Whether security guards are patrolling your facility/parking lot, capturing video surveillance, or overseeing a visitor check-in desk, these are all extra layers of security that can deter someone from performing a violent incident
• How staff can identify organizational risk factors that might trigger a workplace violence incident and the training necessary to help educate them
• How to design and implement effective security technology deterrents using access control, video surveillance and panic button devices
• How to implement effective lockdown procedures and active-shooter training and maintain a consistent approach to reinforcement
