Best Practices for Dealing with Workplace Violence (HRCI - PHR/SPHR Certified)

Overview: Workplace homicide, mass murderers, "going postal,"disgruntled worker, threat assessment, zero tolerance policies… beginning in the mid-1980s, these terms entered our cultural lexicon. Initially, HR professionals along with others in the workplace were left flatfooted with respect to responding. Yet by the early 1990s, policy development, training, consultation, and assessments were part of HRM.

Since then, workplace homicides have dropped by more than 30-50% in the last 20 years. However, there has been a dramatic increase in hostility, intimidation, bullying, and discrimination. Many policies are outdated as are the training programs. Often, policies no longer remain current with the evolving paradigm of the 21st century. Cyber hostility, domestic violence, social media were not a part of this paradigm, yet represent a significant methodology of current hostility. "Active shooter"training programs are being promoted, in spite of the dramatic decrease in shooting incidents at work.

It is time for HR professionals to review their policies and protocols in order to remain current. This program will provide a comprehensive overview of best practices for organizational hostility mitigation and the role of HR
