The first line of defense against workplace violence is developing a framework of preventive policies and procedures to define aggressive behavior, employee safety protocols, and response to threatening situations.
To assist clients in this process, our team of workplace violence prevention consultants work collaboratively with decision-makers to design policies and procedures addressing issues such as pre-employment screening, employee behavior and threat reporting, safe termination procedures, and management actions in response to behavior of concern.
Another component of workplace violence prevention is establishing a system for threat assessment and management. Many acts of workplace homicide are precipitated by communications or behavior that, if properly recognized and assessed, can indicate a developing risk situation and facilitate intervention before crisis occurs.
CIS consultants assist in developing corporate threat assessment programs by authoring necessary plans and documentation systems, training corporate threat assessment teams, and providing expert assistance in practical implementation during crisis situations.
For organizations seeking best defense against potential liability, CIS consultants can develop a complete workplace violence prevention and intervention program in compliance with best practice guidelines as promoted by SHRM and ANSI Standard “Workplace Violence Prevention and Intervention” (ASIS/SHRM WVP.1-2011).
CIS subject experts have instructed thousands of client employees in threat awareness and response to active shooter violence through customized training sessions.
CIS provides expert assistance to employers in assessing potential threat situations and navigating complex and sensitive decisions essential to managing risks of violence.
For companies seeking a comprehensive approach to workplace violence prevention, the CIS Guardian SafeWorkplace Program™ employs a multi-layered strategy for controlling risks of violence in compliance with SHRM best practices and ANSI standards.
CIS security consultants are recognized worldwide for their expertise in assessing and improving physical security and facility preparedness for acts of armed violence.
CIS investigators frequently assist employers and private families in monitoring the behavior of stalkers and menacing employees during the dangerous and uncertain period following hostile terminations.
Over the past 27 years, CIS executive protection specialists have ensured the safety of hundreds of protectees including corporate executives, attorneys, wealthy families, celebrities, media personalities, politicians, presidential candidates, and civil rights leaders.
