If an employee is creating a problem, let the employee know that you are dissatisfied so he or she will have an opportunity to correct the situation.

M005 Violence In The Workplace

Violence in the workplace is on the rise. Today more than 1,000 Americans are murdered on the job every year. Most assaults are robbery related, but many are against employers or ex-employers. Homicide is only part of the problem. Non-fatal assaults, from fist-fights to shootings, are even more common. While the majority of workplaces remain untouched by violent incidents, the trend toward violence has serious implications for all managers.
