Workplace violence: What is it?
In short, it is any violence that is brought upon an employee or multiple employees. It can be committed by an outsider, a current or a former employee. It could occur as the result of an immediate altercation or it could occur based on an event that happened years ago and has been virtually forgotten. It can happen at any business, any corporation or school at any time.
Most people connect workplace violence with an employee termination where revenge is sought. That seems to be the most frequent but domestic violence and criminal acts by others are possible sources as well. These might also be termed as Active Shooter Events.
