In a recent OpenSesame webinar, Ann Potratz and Edwin Zalewski from OpenSesame course publisher J. J. Keller & Associates shared strategies and top tips to prevent bullying and workplace violence through supervisor and workplace training. Working in close proximity to employees, supervisors are often the first to know about disagreements, threats, or acts of violence, and are therefore a company’s first line of defense against bullying and workplace violence.
Supervisors are also the ones in an organization uniquely positioned to address warning signs before they escalate, and report warning signs of a potential threat.
Creating a workplace that actively addresses and works to prevent bullying not only creates a positive company culture, but also helps to reduce turnover. In fact 65% of workers who witnessed or experienced bullying in their workplace quit or lost their job because of bullying.
