Friends,
Workplaces can be violent - even deadly.
The 517 homicides committed in workplaces across the U.S. in 2008 is a number that is too high for comfort (reported by the Bureau of Labor Statistics). Now just one week into 2010, an employee opened fire on his co-workers in St Louis killing three and injuring several others. Moreover, who can forget last year’s killing of Annie Le, a student at Yale University whose body was found stuffed in a wall?
Is there something we can learn that can decrease the likelihood of becoming a crime victim at work? I suspect that before people erupt into violence there are clear and visible clues that they are reaching a breaking point as outlined in ( http://www.opednews.com/articles/Could-Annie-Le-Really-Have-by-June-Werdlow-Roger-090917-759.html ). Observing these warning signs presents a portal in time where a victim can escape.
To take a poll that gives you an opportunity to identify (yes or no) if you have ever been in a workplace situation where you believe you could have been harmed, use the following link:
