Workplace Violence Programs
Violence is the number one cause for death for the
female employee in the workplace and the number two cause of death
for the male employee in the workplace*. Many of these acts could
have been prevented through awareness training, early intervention
and increased security measures.
The bernes Group has assisted companies with:
-
Training their security personnel
-
Consulting regarding early intervention
-
Providing additional security during suspected
problematic terminations / RIFs
-
Garnering security resources comprised of former FBI
agents, in areas throughout the U.S. and several countries abroad to
assist companies with potential workplace violence issues at their
field offices, etc.
Case Study
A Sunnyvale, CA based Security Director received a call at 11:00am
from Human Resources requesting him to assist in a potentially problematic
termination the next morning in Atlanta, GA. The Security Director
had the choice of booking a last minute flight ($1,800), flying all
night and costing him two days time or calling the bernes Group. Our
Georgia based
affiliate was on site the next morning. The HR manager was so
impressed he requested our former agent to assist in two additional
terminations later that day. The security director was
grateful not to have traveled all night, spend two
days traveling and to have the task accomplished
professionally for less that half of what his travel
expenses would have been.
