Is there a human “time-bomb” ticking at your company?

Consider these facts:
• Six of 10 companies say disgruntled employees have threatened to assault or kill senior managers in the past year.
• 82% of executives say the number of violent incidents at their work has increased over the past two years.
• In 80% of cases where murder occurs, the killer left behind clear warning signs – employees ignored, downplayed or misjudged the threat.

To address this growing danger, Johnny Lee, Executive Director of Peace at Work has published a new book titled, Addressing Domestic Violence in the Workplace. The book delivers an in-depth look at this critical topic and provides actionable steps you can take immediately to improve the safety of your organization.

In a clear and effective manner Lee uses actual cases to demonstrate “what went wrong.” Equally important, it addresses what you can do to reduce the risk such an event could occur at your organization. It includes:
• How to develop and implement effective policies
• How to recognize warning signs
• How to train and empower employees to take ownership
• How to handle legal implications

The book is available now by visiting www.amazon.com.
