WEBINAR DETAILS
Nearly two million American workers have been the victims of some form of workplace violence over the past 20 years. It is an issue of growing concern among employers and organizations. Businesses, especially financial institutions, have a legal duty to ensure the safety of employees and accountholders and a responsibility to protect the financial well-being of their organization.
Physical violence, or the threat of physical violence, is becoming an ever-more prevalent answer to someone’s problems, even in the workplace. Frequently, financial institutions are presented with volatile situations involving employees or accountholders. These situations have the potential for violence and present unique challenges. Who will you call when the next challenge arises?
