In the wake of recent tragedies involving gun violence that we’ve witnessed in the news, it becomes more important that employers provide education and training to their employees. As a first step, leaders and corporate specialists need to understand potential workplace violence warning signs to de-escalate appropriately and – hopefully – avoid an active threat situation. However, it is essential to learn how can one prepare for, respond, and react to possible active threat situations.

Next, we will review history cases of active shooter incidents and understand the underlying details from investigators and law enforcement officials. Included is an examination of motivators and tactics used by active shooters. We will then review suggested reactions if you find yourself in an active shooter situation (Run, Hide, or Fight), including interacting effectively with law enforcement.

Potential sources and signs of workplace violence situations
• Prevention and response to workplace violence
• “Threat Assessment” – how you can reduce the possibility of violent incidents
• Historical overview and case studies of active shooter situations
• Personal survival response – how to respond when an incident occurs

This webinar includes two topics that are important for business leaders and employers to educate themselves on an unfortunate, yet very real trend in the country. In this webinar, we will discuss specific causes that trigger workplace violence and how you can handle difficult situations in the workplace. We will also cover signs you can look for, pre-attacks indicators, and ways to de-escalate those circumstances.

Employees and former employees are stressed, upset, and frustrated and sometimes lash out in violent ways. Potential workplace violence clues are often overlooked or discounted by onlookers and co-workers for various reasons. Tragically, turning away from these indications can result in dire consequences as active threat incidents are not unusual news items. Based on a thorough analysis by law enforcement experts, we know that there are specific steps that you can take to mitigate workplace violence situations. However, if you find yourself in an active shooter situation, do you know what to do and how to react?
