Harassment and violence in the workplace isn't good for business, causing: tension in the workplace, needless litigation, and tarnished reputations for all involved. Employers need to be proactive in addressing issues of harassment and violence by having: proper policies in place that conform with applicable law, having human resources and managers trained effectively in strategies to prevent and identify harassment, and rapid approach in dealing with issues as they arise. It makes good business sense and give meaning to the old saying of "an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure". Below I have attached an article discussing harassment and an excellent report from the Conference Board of Canada, see:
Reducing the costs of workplace violence
Managing the Risks of Workplace Violence and Harassment
