Workplace violence is a growing risk for organizations today. In fact, every year, nearly two million American workers are victims of workplace violence. Yet despite several high-profile incidents and the media coverage they generate, there are still many misconceptions about workplace violence. And many organizations are not sure how to mitigate the risk.
