Training: Violence in the Workplace

Homicide is now the number two cause of workplace deaths.

Over 1000 people are murdered at work each year.

42% of on-the-job fatalities among women are homicides.

The number of employees who murder their supervisors
has doubled in the last ten years.

Violence in the Workplace is increasing. America, as a whole, is becoming more violent. The social customs, ethics, and moral values that helped shape our society are breaking down. The increase in workplace violence is a reflection of what is happening to society in general. Employers can no longer afford to take a "wait and see" attitude toward this problem.
