Stresses in the Workplace and How to Combat Same
Stress is the body’s reaction to outside influences, demands or strains. In a sense, the body is revved up to respond to a threat or a challenge. Everybody experiences stress occasionally and this is unlikely to have any lasting impact unless the experience is particularly traumatic. Such acute stress can occur as a result of actual or threatened violence. Staff employed in banks, post offices, public transport, the health service and other occupations are at risk of experiencing acute stress as a result of robberies, assaults and violence. Every precaution needs to be taken to protect workers in vulnerable situations against such risks. Where incidents do occur, procedures should exist, including independent counseling where necessary, to minimise the long–term impact.

Profitable Online Business Ideas and the Recession; Your Thoughts
Many people believe they are victims or products of their environment. First, I don’t believe we are victims unless we allow ourselves to be one. I simply choose not to be one. Today’s society is way too eager to make everyone out to be a victim. And I believe that too many people are too willing to be made into victims. It does away with personal responsibility. We are all human beings and we can choose how we wish to live. We all have God given abilities and gifts to help us achieve those dreams. We don’t have to be victims or products of our environment, we can change ourselves and thus change our environment. I believe that we are products of our own thoughts.

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. Perhaps if the warning signs present in both of these cases had been noticed by those involved these unfortunate incidents of workplace violence could have been avoided. 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.

Employers need to understand that they can be held liable for negligent hiring and negligent retention of employees who engage in workplace violence. Employers need to recognize that the way to prevent instances of workplace violence and to protect their workplaces is to provide training to both managers and employees on the warning signs of workplace violence as well as methods to avoid workplace violence in their workplaces.

TWO LESSONS LEARNED FOR EMPLOYERS FROM MANCHESTER, CT SHOOTING
Today employers had an opportunity to witness first hand another instance of workplace violence.

Employers need to learn how to better prepare for instances of workplace violence when they discipline employees. Employers also need to better understand their legal obligations with regard to complaints of unlawful harassment in the workplace. Hopefully, today’s tragedy can help employers understand that they need to be better prepared and take action to prevent instances of workplace violence in their workplaces.

Do Publicity Stunts Work? As Sarah would say, 'You Betcha!'
Publicists have long put a human face on a story. Hollywood celebrities promote causes. Victims flee hurricanes. President Roosevelt once dispatched photographers to take compelling pictures of victims of the dust bowl of the 1930's to evoke sympathy for them. When orchestrated right, stunts can be powerful media exposure generators.

The Choice is Ours
