PROTECT YOURSELF, YOUR EMPLOYEES AND YOUR BUSINESS

Workplace homicide has tripled in the last decade along with an increase in theft, embezzlement and misappropriation of company assets, property, confidential information and trade secrets. The current economic situation in the United States appears to be proving an even greater increase of these problems. During the month of May, 2009 over 40 deaths were attributed to workplace violence. This presentation is designed to provide you with the necessary information to protect your employees, your organization’s property and trade secrets. You will learn the necessary procedural guidelines to comply with the employee safety requirements of OSHA and CalOSHA. It will also alert you to current trends and the "red flags" of dishonest behavior by employees and outsiders and how to identify potential offenders. Additionally, the presentation is designed to provide you with the tools to provide appropriate response before, during and after an incident. The tools presented will include a guide to identifying potential issues, immediate mitigation strategies, when to illicit outside assistance, and how to conduct a threat assessment..
