Clark Hill Partners With Former FBI Agents to Offer Comprehensive Workplace Anti-Violence Program
According to the Occupational Safety and Health Administration, some two million American workers are victims of workplace violence each year. The National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health estimates that violence in the workplace costs employers $120 billion a year. In the last year, we have seen various workplaces and schools subjected to shootings and other violent acts against employees. Employers are required to provide a safe environment for their employees. Are you prepared to deal with violence in your workplace?
