Halting Horizontal Violence in the Workplace

Violence Will Never Happen In My Workplace! Believing This Fact Can Put You In Danger...

According to the FBI, 225,000 – 300,000 occurrences of violence happen in the workplace every year and less than half of the events are ever reported. Many staff do not recognize violent, disruptive behavior as a red flag and threat to safety, leaving staff unprepared to respond or prevent workplace violence.
Threatening, intimidating and disruptive behaviors undermine a culture of safety, lead to medical errors, contribute to poor patient outcomes, and result in preventable adverse outcomes.

Verbal rather than physical forms of disruptive behavior are most common with aggression, harassment, and intimidation experienced by 75% of nurses and 80% of nurses experiencing bullying during their careers.
