In this episode of The Security Podcasts featuring Alan Saquella, Assistant Professor at the College of Business, Security and Intelligence at Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University, we discuss the red flags that a workplace violence incident may be about to occur.

Saquella notes that workplace violence can come from many sources, stating, “[Workplace violence] can occur internally, externally, and sometimes just at random.” While many times these incidents occur due to disgruntled employees, this is not always the case. Therefore, organizations must be prepared to handle any and all potential workplace threats.

Since workplace violence can stem from a variety of sources, Saquella stresses the importance of collaboration among legal, HR, IT, and external partners to mitigate risks and protect organizations from these threats. Furthermore, he highlights the value of threat assessment teams when it comes to preventing workplace violence, sharing the five-step pathway to violence: grievance, ideation, planning, preparation, and implementation.
