Thanks for sharing, Wojo. I am signing up

Just a FYI, the first webinar was very well received from the attendees. I know of one member who was part of it.

 

To my surprise, corporate used a detail I worked for the case study for the webinar. It had a lot of twists and surprises which caught even some of the most experienced in HR and Security matters off guard.

 

I encourage you to sign in and learn about it. If you own a business, it is almost a must to see what you can be exposed too.

 

Cheers.

Wojo

I will admit to being the one member of this forum that Wojo is probably talking about. Wojo and I are in parallel industries and I really enjoyed the Workplace Violence presentation his company put on.

 

In today's economy any business owner needs to do everything they can to protect their business and clients. Workplace violence can and does happen every day throughout the country and throughout the world. Having insurance will only cover you so far but developing a complete workplace violence plan is the way to go.

 

I urge any and all of you that own your own businesses or are responsible for sales, HR, customer service or just about any part of a business to attend the next Workplace Seminar webinar that Wojo's organization puts on. You will definitely take away lots of good information and it will open your eyes to just what can happen in what initially appears to be a very simple incident and how they can escalate.

Wojo I said this before to you...thank you for inviting me to attend this webinar.

I was registered for the 1st seminar but had to switch to the follow-up session due schedule conflicts.

signed up for Feb 23rd.

I admit to completely forgetting about this.

I am participating right now. Excellent seminar.

 

One interesting factoid: 88% of workplace violence homicides were committed with a gun (data as of 2006).

 

Thank you for the heads up!

Thanks for tuning in. I'm glad you enjoyed it. There were some pretty good twists to the incident. Being the guy who was in the middle, you can see why I valued having my Florida CCW permit. Now only if NJ could see the light on my professional need to have one. Connecticut does, but not NJ and NY.
