Domestic Violence Spillover: 10 Proactive Strategies for Preventing Workplace Attacks
OVERVIEW
This unique 90 minute webinar aims to help prevent domesticviolence related attacks in the workplace by focusing on effective, proactive
safety strategies.
Threat assessment and management expert Lynn Fairweather uses
real case studies and cutting edge research to show how domestic violence
spillover occurs and how professionals can identify potentially lethal
situations before they explode.
The domestic violence training begins with several examples of
recent spillover attacks, followed by statistical information on the prevalence
and “common denominators” of such cases. Participants will then be introduced
to key threat assessment and management concepts that can be applied to their
most critical cases.
Through a series of 10 strategies, Ms. Fairweather explains the
“3 R’s” that every manager must know, the essential elements of a workplace
violence training policy, and how to cultivate a supportive employee culture.
Featured content areas include situational analysis, program evaluation,
perpetrator lethality factors, and target hardening techniques.
Attendees will leave with an enhanced knowledge of domestic
violence spillover, as well as a toolbox of practical ideas on preventing
workplace violence in their own facilities.

WHY SHOULD YOU ATTEND
Statistically speaking, every large company has workplace
domestic violence policy. More than half of women (and many men) have
experienced physical, sexual, or severe emotional abuse during their lifetime
and most of these victims are employed, as are their abusers. When both show up
to their jobs, the abuse and harassment often follow, emerging as domestic
violence “spillover” in the workplace. The spillover spectrum ranges from
repetitive phone calls on the mild end, to mass shootings on the extreme. Of
course, violent incidents are a primary concern, but the impact of workplace
bullying training reaches far beyond human safety alone. Abused employees have
higher absenteeism and lower productivity rates than non-abused employees. They
also have over 40% higher health care costs and a greater chance of leaving the
company or being fired because of what they are experiencing at home and at
work. Their abusers create a significant liability risk for employers facing
everything from OSHA violations to multimillion dollar post-incident lawsuits.
If employee victims aren’t coming forward and management isn’t responding
correctly, then the company is “flying blind”, unable to see the dangers before
them. Employers should attend this webinar because while it is within their
power to address and defeat the insidious enemy of domestic violence, they
can’t do it without understanding the nature of their opponent and knowing
exactly what tools to use in the battle against it.
AREAS COVERED
This webinar covers 10 proactive strategies for preventingdomestic violence spillover in the workplace.
Beginning with statistics on the prevalence of primary and
secondary victimization, facilitator Lynn Fairweather will guide participants
through a collection of real life cases, with a focus on the common
denominators between them. From there, attendees will discover the first
strategy, learning how to shift their security approach from reactive to
proactive defense. Within this unit they will explore key threat assessment and
management concepts such as “The Kindling and the Spark”, “The Path to
Intended Violence” and “The Dangerous Dog”. Next, attention turns to the second
strategy, where Ms. Fairweather will explain how to establish a strong company
stance against domestic violence, supported by clear and comprehensive policy.
In the third strategy, participants will learn about creating an employee
protection culture that encourages disclosure and trust between employees and
management. This is followed by a discussion on internal training, and the
importance of mastering the “3 R’s” of domestic violence response (Recognize,
Respond, and Refer). The fifth strategy is in regard to the establishment and
training of threat assessment teams, and features six reasons why domestic
violence threat is different from other types of workplace risk.
Ms. Fairweather continues by explaining how to identify high
lethality risk factors in a case and reveals six types of fatal outcome. She
also offers suggestions for several “situational analysis” questions that may
help to determine where an abuser is at in their violence risk trajectory. In
the seventh strategy, participants will review a sample menu of target
hardening measures. Afterward, the eighth unit covers how to prepare staff to
respond to an onsite attack. Finally, the conversation turns to case
monitoring, and lastly to process evaluation with the goal of learning from
past mistakes and successes. The webinar concludes with an offering of
additional domestic violence resources.
