Firewall: How Corporate Security Can Prevent Domestic Violence Attacks
OVERVIEW
Ranging from employee performance issues to horrific mass
murders, domestic violence “spillover” in the workplace is responsible for
bringing both staggering economic losses and significant personal safety risks
to businesses and the people that work in or visit them. Learn how to assess
and manage DV threat from the angle of security through this unique, multimedia
presentation based on the concept that corporate security teams can increase
overall safety and pro-actively prevent workplace attacks. Featured content
areas include assessment tools and insights, case management strategies, target
hardening tactics, and corollary safety.
WHY SHOULD YOU ATTEND
Statistically speaking, every large company has domestic
violence in their midst, whether they realize it or not. 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 domestic violence in the workplace 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 multi-million 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
training 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
94% of corporate security directors rank domestic violence (DV)
as a high security concern, due to the immense safety risks it presents. From
communicated threats, to assaults and mass shootings, DV “spillover” poses a
significant danger, accounting for roughly 25-45% of the cases security teams
deal with. Additionally, American industry is losing roughly 10 billion dollars
a year due to the absenteeism, lost productivity, employee turnover, and
increased health care costs associated with DV. Some employees or businesses
may be at more risk than others. Learn how to assess and manage DV threat from the
angle of security through this unique, multimedia presentation, facilitated by
subject matter expert Lynn Fairweather. This training provides a flexible,
practical framework for preventing and handling violent attacks in the
workplace, using a combination of theoretical insights and target hardening
tactics. The first portion presents cutting edge research, along with key
“lessons learned” in real-life workplace homicide cases. Participants will
discover what makes DV threat a “different animal”, and examine key threat
assessment concepts for interpreting DV risk. Feature areas include how to
recognize both “yellow” and “red” flags for risk, evaluate stated threats, and
identify perpetrator “leakage”. In the second half of the training, attendees
will explore ways to develop and implement the case management strategies that
can prevent spillover attacks. Using the concept of “seamless” safety planning,
Ms. Fairweather explains how security personnel can translate their knowledge
of DV into improvements in areas such as access controls, communications, and
the safety of workplace “hot spots”, or locations where violence often occurs.
Special focus areas are: dealing with dual-employee cases, mitigating
“corollary" risk, handling restraining orders, working with victims, and
collaborating with other departments to obtain and disseminate vital
information.
