In many cases, the threat comes from inside the organization – for example, a disgruntled employee who shows up at work armed and ready to cause trouble. However, many employers also face the equally disturbing risks of violence against their workers by outsiders – including attacks by upset customers or clients, assaults or robberies by criminals, and even domestic disputes that spill over onto the job site.

There’s no foolproof way to prevent workplace violence threats from outside your organization. But, you can learn to control these risks by recognizing the warning signs, enforcing proven policies to keep your employees safe while they work, and reduce your chances of falling victim to outside threats.

Learn the dos and don’ts of preventing workplace violence from the outside during our practical 90-minute audio conference on April 17. Our expert speaker – a nationally recognized expert in helping employers prepare for the unexpected – will share hands-on advice for safeguarding your workers against violent crimes, improving the physical security of your facilities, and dealing with sensitive issues such as domestic abuse. Plus, you’ll have the chance to post your own questions about outside workplace violence threats during the conference.

You and your colleagues will learn:

• Proven techniques for recognizing and evaluating potential workplace violence issues arising outside your organization
• How to identify possible security problems posed by customers, criminals, or workers’ spouses and partners – and what you can legally do about them
• The “weak links” in physical security that are commonly found in many workplaces – and how you can plug those holes without spending a fortune in the process
• What you must consider when you involve local law enforcement officials in your preventive planning (in other words, what the police can and cannot do for you!)
• Why criminals routinely target certain businesses or employees, and how you can counter those risks
• How you can provide support for workers caught in domestic violence disputes, while also protecting the rights and the safety of their co-workers
• The financial and legal risks posed by workplace violence incidents – from workers’ compensation claims to victims’ litigation – and how you can protect your organization
