MISSED WARNING SIGNS OF WORKPLACE VIOLENCE IN FORT HOOD AND ORLANDO SHOOTINGS
The tragedy at Fort Hood and the mass shootings the following day in Orlando demonstrate all too vividly how missed warning signs can lead to violence in the workplace.

Employers need to be aware of what the warning signs are and how to handle them. They also need to draft workplace violence prevention policies as well as provide workplace violence prevention training to their employees. The training will help employees understand what they should be on the lookout for, the resources in the workplace that can help employees who demonstrate the warning signs and methods to make the workplace safer for all employees.
