Workplace Violence

Times are definitely changing in the workplace. For some reason, more and more people believe they have the right to threaten, assault people and damage property when they are terminated. This is unacceptable and creates a toxic work environment. We work with corporations of all sizes to create a solution that ensures the safety of all employees and guests.

In the back of any human resources director’s mind is the thought that terminating an employee could result in a volatile situation. Threats of workplace violence following termination are some of the highest risks that management and human resource professionals encounter. In fact, seventy-five percent of all workplace acts of violence have occurred during or after the firing process.

For every workplace shooting that receives coverage from the media, there are hundreds of violent encounters that never make the news.

Whether you are evaluating an employee’s risk of violence, or you fear a hostile termination may incite violence, having trained a plain clothes agent (s) to provide workplace protection and hostile termination protection is a smart precaution. After a full assessment and consultation, Elite institutes a multifaceted approach involving a covert and overt security presence before, during, and after the employee termination. Our agents are trained to prevent problems before they happen or, if they need to, take action to keep your employees safe and secure.

A human resources professional may wish to have a trained investigative staff assist with all hostile employee terminations. Here at Elite, we are experienced in hostile employee termination assistance and can provide you with professional and discreet surveillance on the terminated employee to document their whereabouts as well as their behaviors post termination. This will offer not only protection for your employees, but peace of mind for the management team. The key to any hostile termination case is reducing the risk of preventable danger.
