Proactively Managing the Risk of Workplace Violence
These two quotes in a recent article should make any HR person revisit their approach to preventing workplace violence with a solid plan and the use of background screening.
1. “A USA Today analysis last year indicated that an average of 25 people per week are injured and one person per week dies from workplace violence.”
2. "In virtually every case there were signs beforehand which were ignored." –Chris McGoey, an expert and consultant on workplace violence
Read the online article: How to Prepare for Workplace Violence by Scott Berinato in CSO The Resource for Security Executives. He lists nine steps suggested by Chris McGoey that can help you proactively take steps to minimize your risk.
Then read the Taleo Research white paper: Background Checking: Uncovering the Facts. You will learn how new methodologies and technology mitigate compliance issues, fraud, workplace violence, and negligent hiring—along with potential personal liability. Make these process improvements and you will get higher quality screening results faster to reduce your cost and risk.
