Avoid Costly Workplace IncidentsIn this economy, can your company afford the cost of a serious workplace incident? For both the safety of your employees and the strength of your bottom line, proper training in early intervention is the key to preventing critical incidents. TAG’s specialized training equips companies to handle issues involving problems at any level, from the subordinate who rolls her eyes when given direction, to the CEO who yells in a meeting. We deal with every kind of unwanted behavior, from absenteeism to armed violence. With TAG’s guidance, your company could save on the costs of hiring, termination, insurance, workers compensation claims, and legal fees. You may even be among the many companies whom TAG has helped prevent loss of life. We know that every company has different needs, so TAG provides customized in-house training sessions, from 1 – 5 days, covering everything your management teams need to know to keep your workplace safe from bullying, mobbing, threats, stalking, and violence. Dispelling the MythWhen most people hear the phrase “workplace violence,” the first thing that comes to mind is one of the terrible shooting incidents we all hear about on the news from time to time. These tragedies affect not only the victims and their families, but everyone exposed to news about them, so it’s not surprising that we think of them so readily. In reality, the problem of workplace violence includes many everyday occurrences that are not nearly so dramatic. Think of the associate whose boyfriend or husband checks up on her so often at work that she’s embarrassed about how controlling he seems. Think of the associate who is always so irritable that people walk on eggshells around him. Think of the manager who hurts people’s feelings by yelling at them in front of others. Any of these might be the early stage of a problem that could grow worse and could result in someone losing their job, a lawsuit, or physical violence. These more common and less dramatic events, whether they involve verbal abuse, harassment, intimidation, or even threats, are all part of the spectrum of behavior that can make people uncomfortable and less productive at work. Our concern is with the whole spectrum of behavior that can cause discomfort, distress, or fear, and our intention is to provide you with tools and resources that can help make the workplace comfortable and safe for everyone. For 22 years TAG has provided service to hundreds of Fortune 500 companies and hundreds of other companies, agencies, foundations, colleges, and schools of all types and sizes.
