Labor Issues: High Risk Termination
Human resource and personnel managers often encounter incidents where an employee must be terminated, and there is reason to believe the employee may react violently. It is important to take proper steps to minimize the danger to yourself or other employees. Prior to the termination, NASS professionals are available to consult with you and to respond to your facility to assist with the termination process, acting as your corporate security department. By limiting the involvement of your management team, the focus of the terminated employee's anger is directed toward NASS personnel instead of company personnel. In all cases where threats of violence have been made, a thorough investigation should be conducted. In more than 90% of workplace violence incidents, the perpetrator told acquaintances he/she was going to commit the act.
