2021 was the deadliest year on record for gun violence, and 2022 could easily surpass it. In light of recent tragic shooting events and millions of employees going back to the office, it’s important for organizations to re-evaluate their workplace violence preparedness and response plans to ensure the safety of their people.
Proper preparedness and training can mean the difference between life and death in an active shooter situation.
In this episode, Bill Flynn, Co-founder and Chief Strategy Officer at The Power of Preparedness, talks us through how organizations can assess workplace risks to create or improve a violence preparedness program.
Bill shares:
Why “checking the box” on workplace violence preparedness is no longer acceptable
How full employee participation and executive buy-in is crucial for an effective preparedness plan
The importance of building muscle memory through active shooter training
Why probability, vulnerability, and potential consequence evaluations are necessary for accurate risk assessments
