Violence in the Workplace

Violence in the workplace refers to any act of physical assault, threatening behavior, or verbal abuse that occurs within a work environment. This can include anything from bullying and harassment to physical attacks. Such incidents can stem from various sources, including conflicts between employees, customer aggression, or even domestic disputes spilling into the workplace. The consequences can be severe, affecting employee safety, mental health, and overall workplace morale. Organizations are encouraged to implement policies, provide training, and create a supportive culture to prevent and address violence effectively.
