Few things are as frightening in the work environment as an incident involving workplace violence. Incidents ranging from disgruntled employees to armed robberies to fatal incidents can have long-lasting impacts on employees, customers, and your organization’s reputation.
At Bryghtpath, we’re often asked to give examples of recent notable workplace violence incidents as a part of the process to justify a threat management program.
We’ve pulled together this list of notable workplace violence incidents from the past few years that may help you within your organization as you seek to establish or mature a threat management & workplace violence prevention program.
The incidents we selected aren’t always the ones that made headlines, but they represent a cross-section of real incidents that we are likely to face during our careers.
The report covers notable workplace violence incidents through December 31st, 2022. The report is updated each year in January.
