In the wake of the Newtown, CT school shooting tragedy in December 2012, there has been much discussion about legislation and security amongst schools, businesses and government. However, the responsibility and capability of preventing another tragedy are mostly dependent on leaders and employees within these organizations. Workplace violence prevention and management must focus on likely risks and plausible interventions.
ePanic Button is offering a free, three-part webinar series, Workplace Violence Prevention Training and Management. These information and resource laden programs will provide administrators and stakeholders the tools to establish and augment their organization’s security programs.
