Here are our 6 top tips for controlling violence in the workplace.
- Review, or include, your violence prevention/harassment policies regularly (e.g. per quarter or annually). These will be apart of your general health and safety assessments.
- Encourage employees to report, document and investigate anything which could breach violence prevention rules.
- Have a workplace assessment and employee questionnaire to identify any gaps or worries which should be included in the violence prevention policy.
- Review your visitor access protocol as this is often what leads to violence in the workplace. Perhaps investing in a concierge security guard would be best practice for your business as they are able to combine the role of a receptionist and a security guard into one.
- Review previous incidents to see where the implemented policies went wrong. This could highlight gaps in the current guidelines.
- Make sure your new employees are fully educated on your violence prevention plan and strategy as everyone should be constantly aware of their duties to creating a safe workplace.
