Give Them Something to Talk About
According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, 18,400 workers in the private industry experienced trauma from nonfatal workplace violence in 2017, which required days away from work. Of those victims who experienced trauma from workplace violence:
70% were female
67% were aged 25 to 54
71% worked in the healthcare and social assistance industry
18% required 31 or more days away from work to recover
Workplace trauma or occupational violence is more common than we care to admit and most importantly, it affects productivity, which eventually begins to affect your company’s revenue.
