Violence Mitigation

Safeguard Your Organization
Optimizing the psychological safety of your employees is essential, especially in the face of potential workplace threats. To do so, here are three important things to keep in mind:
1. Be Prepared
Don’t be taken by surprise. Have risk management prevention strategies in place and vetted behavioral threat specialists you can call upon immediately if a threat occurs. Where appropriate, screen and train members of your staff on how to engage support solutions, such as R3 threat specialists.
2. Be Proactive
A workplace violence prevention program can protect your employees from harm and your company from negligence. Be sure to have the appropriate support in place before concerns of violence or actual threats emerge. Do not attempt to manage violent threats alone. Call on R3 for support and tools to thoroughly assess risks to provide any required mitigation.
3. Act Immediately
If you spot the signs of potential workplace violence, take immediate action. This cannot be overstated: prepare in advance, know who to call, and develop a strategy to respond instantly. Threats must be taken very seriously and acted upon with speed, proven methodologies, and guidance from specialists.
