Many employers are recognizing the existence of workplace violence and harassment and devising solutions and schemes to address the problem. An increase in knowingness is commonly accompanied by a decrease in tolerance for incidents of abuse.
Violence and harassment at the workplace can critically compromise a work environs. For the victim, abuse can result in anger, depression, guilt, self-doubt regarding competency, anxiety and Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder type symptoms. Abuse can be as detrimental for other laborers at the workplace as it is for the victim. Laborers can no longer feel as safe and comfortable at work. This can result in lost productivity and decreased work performance. Overall worker morale can drop and the employer’s reputation can be jeopardized.
Recruiting and holding back staff can become more challenging. In the absence of policies, the employer can be subject to legal proceedings from victims.
Higher insurance premiums, increased workers’ compensation levy payments and lost-time claims can also result. Clearly, having policies and procedures in position.
Education to increase knowingness is key to eliminating workplace violence and harassment. Many laborers aren’t familiar with their organization’s policies on violence and harassment. Increased noesis of these policies and procedures helps in reducing the stress as an effect of an incident.
Many constituents of an effective education and training program include: Clarifying roles and responsibilities, educating staff regarding reporting procedures, training of crisis intervention/victim support personnel (where appropriate), training and educating those charged with investigating incidents, communicating with other agencies such like police, community and social services, incrementing worker knowingness regarding rights and available assistance and incrementing knowingness of relevant legislation and the employer’s policies and procedures.
