Leader's Role in Managing the Threat of Workplace Violence

While warning signs are important, having an understanding and familiarity of root causes and contributing factors can help the potential aggressors deescalate before they transition to being disgruntled and thoughts of retaliation. Remember, retaliation doesn't have to be a violent act; there are a host of behaviors available to the disgruntled employee that would never be considered as workplace violence.

Leaders, who understand what is workplace violence and how it is initiated will find themselves in a better position to apply multiple intervention strategies in resolving conflict, instilling trust and confidence in the leader and creating the impression that the Employer can provide for a safer and secure workplace.

Key to the importance of prevention is having a sound approach based on policies, strategies, procedures and a workplace violence prevention plan that supports the policy and other workplace security policies and procedures.

Leaders not only have a legal responsibility to their Employers but a moral responsibility for rectifying conditions and contributing factors that help to resolve recognizable known hazards in providing for the safety and security of personnel within the operation.
