Workplace violence happens all the time and across all industries. Often times, workplace violence does not just refer to active shooter situations like those we hear about on TV. It can also include verbal harassment and even threats of harassment or violence.
There are certain employee behaviors that managers can look for to identify disgruntled staff members.
1. Passive Aggressive Actions
Passive aggressive behavior may be an indicator that an employee is agitated. These behaviors may start off small and be easy to brush off. However, these kinds of actions can be indications that an employee is beginning to exhibit aggressive behavior.
2. Negative Changes in Behavior
An early warning sign of potential violence is a negative change in behavior. This may happen slowly over time or abruptly. A usually easygoing person may begin to display signs of agitation, anger or frustration.
3. Verbal Threats
A verbal threat to a manager or coworker isn’t just always empty words. Any kind of verbal threat by an employee in the workplace should be reported to a manager with the appropriate action taken immediately.
