"Workplace violence prevention starts at the C-suite level," said Mike Dunning, Director of Support Operations, Healthcare, AlliedBarton Security Services. "Once an organization's top leaders develop an environment where violence is not tolerated, others will take notice. Starting from the top down, workplace violence prevention needs to become an overall goal and focus within your company."
"Many people believe that workplace violence is not preventable; it is this misconception that blinds them to the warning signs," said Mike Hogan, Director of Security and Support Services, St. Jude Children's Research Hospital. "There are almost always warning signs when an employee requires help."
Discussion topics include recognizing warning signs and preventing workplace violence by developing proactive strategies.
Speakers and panel members include: Mike Dunning, Director of Support Operations, Healthcare, AlliedBarton Security Services; Tim Timmons, Vice President of Human Resources, SC Chamber of Commerce; and Mike Hogan, Director Facilities Security, St. Jude Children's Research Hospital.
