Sometimes it is important to report situations that are aggressive to prevent them from getting out of hand. There are tips in the video on how to minimize arguments, so they don’t turn violent in the first place. Companies often have handbooks or policies in place for handling violence in the workplace. It is necessary in some cases to create a workplace violence prevention program. Including all the employees in this can be effective for preventing issues from arising.
