Workplace Violence Focus of General Session at ASIS 2011
Violence in the workplace continues to make news headlines and is a growing concern to security, human resources, and management across all industries. Threats, verbal abuse, physical assault, and homicide in the workplace affect two million American workers annually. A panel of leading experts will examine the issues and the latest information on assessment, prevention and mitigation of this growing threat at ASIS 2011 on Thursday, September 22, 10:00 am to 12:00 pm.
“Workplace violence is a critical issue that can impact any workplace, at any time. Organizations in every industry need to be prepared to ensure the safety of their employees. A comprehensive workplace violence plan is essential for awareness, prevention and response, and requires a collaborative effort involving executive leadership, human resources, and security,” says Ron Rabena, division president, Allied Barton and member, ASIS Law Enforcement Liaison Council (LELC).
