Most hospitals already have pieces of a workplace violence prevention program in place. There may be policies, annual training, incident reporting, committees, security response, or other efforts intended to keep employees and patients safe. But having the pieces does not always mean they work together as a program. Having a policy, a committee, and annual training may satisfy part of the requirement, but it does not necessarily mean the program is working.Workplace violence prevention is much more than de-escalation training or responding after something has already happened. A strong program looks at how the organization identifies risk, sets expectations, prepares employees, responds when behavior begins to escalate, supports staff, learns from events, and uses that information to help prevent the next one.
This webinar will take a practical look at what a comprehensive workplace violence prevention program should include and how those pieces connect. Participants will receive a Workplace Violence Prevention Program Readiness Checklist that can be used to take a fresh look at their current program, identify potential gaps, and determine where additional attention may be needed first.
