Preventing Workplace Bullying and Violence

Workplace violence can strike anywhere from frontline retail to corporate offices and the consequences are devastating. Beyond tragic loss of life, one violent incident can destroy morale, damage your brand, and expose your organization to crippling liability.

Yet most employers still believe, “It could never happen here.”

The truth? It’s already happening. In 2023, workplace violence claimed 740 lives, and two-thirds of employees said they witnessed bullying or incivility in just the past month as proven precursors to more serious aggression.

Meanwhile, regulators are cracking down. Employers are now expected to have written prevention plans, employee training programs, and crisis response procedures in place or face costly citations and lawsuits.

This action-packed, compliance-driven session reveals how to go beyond “active shooter” drills to build a comprehensive violence prevention strategy that protects your people, safeguards your brand, and strengthens your culture from the inside out.
