The Four Types of Workplace Violence

Workplace violence is a growing concern among employers.  There are undue assaults on employees, coming from within and without staff members, resulting in violence and serious harm to employees.  This not only has the obvious effect, guilt and concern, but such violent events demoralizes the entire workforce.  There are serious liability issues to consider.

I have written about workplace violence on many occasions.  One such article was entitled, “Emergency Room Hospital Workers Subjected to Workplace Violence.”  I was interviewed a couple of months ago by Donna Armale, for her television show on the Cal State  University Television Network.  Here is the link to the interview.  I’m about an hour and twenty minutes  into the show.

An article in the HR.Bl.Com helps in coordinating one’s thoughts about workplace violence.  It divides issues of workplace violence into four categories.

Criminal Intent

Customer/Client

Worker-on-Worker

Personal Relationship

For further breakdown of each category, I advised employers and human resources managers to read the brief but informative article.  Her is the link to the article.
