Most employers – especially large institutions – will face the challenge of volatile, threatening, or violent behavior. Indeed, statistics reveal a clear prevalence of “workplace violence”: that is, a broad range of misconduct that can derail productivity, jeopardize employee safety, and leave an unprepared management scrambling for solutions.
Since 1996, Speer Associates has dedicated itself to workplace violence prevention and management, cultivating a high-level, multi-faceted expertise in this area. Our work carries two primary objectives:
- Helping you to implement – in a straight-forward and cost-effective fashion – a state-of-the art prevention program that will enable you to recognize and properly manage all forms of disruptive workplace behavior.
- Showing you the critical role that such a program can play in your organization’s overall employee relations, legal, and risk management strategies.
We bring an unparalleled expertise to a progression of workplace violence services:
- Incident Management, Facilitation, and Resolution: We provide critical assistance and legal counsel to help you manage behavior that raises questions of safety.
- Needs Assessment: We evaluate current systems to ensure compliance with relevant legal obligations and recognized best practices.
- Workplace Violence Prevention and Management Program: We design and help implement a multi-component, interdisciplinary program that prepares your organization to prevent and manage behavior that falls under the broad rubric of “workplace violence.”
- Specialized Training: We conduct training tailored to different management and employee groups, including a designated Incident Management Team, security and human resources personnel, managers and supervisors, and employees at large.
- Executive and Managerial Briefings: We conduct concise, educational briefings for executive and managerial decision-makers designed to build a top-down commitment to workplace violence prevention.
When demanded, we conduct our work with nationally-recognized experts in complementary fields, such as psychology and security, bringing you comprehensive, best-in-class services.
With these services, we work diligently to protect your most valuable assets: positive employee morale, undisrupted productivity, and a public image that communicates a concern for employee safety.
