8 Scope of Our Discussion ID what is workplace violence, the causative factors, and what you can do to be part of the solution, and not part of the problem 8
9 The Impact of Threats and Violent Acts at Work General Physical injury Psychological impact New symptoms Exacerbation of pre-existing conditions Disruption of assumed sense of safety Suspicion and loss of cohesion Decreased productivity Northwestern Life Study (1993) 79% of those attacked at work had subsequent psychological problems 40% experienced disruption of work life 28% had a physical injury or became ill 15% had no negative effect 9
10 The Knowledge Base for Threat Assessments 10
11 Defining Workplace Violence NIOSH: Workplace Violence is any physical assault, threatening behavior or verbal abuse occurring in the work setting. It includes, but is not limited to, beatings, stabbings, suicides, shootings, rapes, attempted suicides, psychological trauma, threats such as obscene phone calls, an intimidating presence, and harassment of any nature, such as being followed, sworn at or shouted at. 11
12 Defining Violence Targeted violence - Predatory, planned - Aimed at a specific individual or institution - Includes acts of terrorism, whether or not politically motivated Impulsive violence - May be specific or nonspecific - Victim may be unintended 12
13 Types - Express or implied - Direct or contingent To physically harm: - Organization - Self - Others Defining Threats 13
14 Purposes: Threats - Self defense - Intimidation - Retaliation - Manipulation/Extortion - Disruption - Promote ideology - Personal satisfaction/entertainment 14
15 Myth vs. Reality #1: People just snap. Reality With hindsight, and some investigation, we can almost always identify a pattern of deteriorating behavior, threats, etc. leading up to the action. Perceptions that the violent behavior is a new development for the perpetrator are the result of people either not knowing the perpetrator or not being aware of what others know. 15
16 Myth vs. Reality #2: Violence and threats are irrational Reality Both tend to be chosen as a means to accomplish an end when no other methods appear to be available. They tend to work, at least in the short term, e.g. Disgruntled workers and their effect on management You d better watch it. Terrorism They may represent rational decisions made on the basis of irrational beliefs 16
17 Myth vs. Reality #3: Workplace violence has been growing in frequency since the early 1990s Reality A total of 564 workplace homicides was recorded in 2005 (up from 559 in 2004). However, workplace suicides were sharply lower in 2005, dropping 14 percent to a series low of 177 fatalities. Total workplace homicides of all types have dropped approximately 50% since
18 Myth vs. Reality #4: Current and former co-workers pose the greatest risk of workplace violence Reality Since data have been gathered, the majority of workplace homicides have been committed by outsiders engaged in attempted robbery or other crime. (Type I) Current and former co-workers (Type III) have consistently been responsible for 5-13% 18
19 The Four Types of Workplace Violence % of homicides Type I: Criminal Intent (~75%) Type II: Customer/Client (~5%) Type III: Worker on worker (~12%) Type IV: Personal relationship (~8%) 19
20 Myth vs. Reality #5: Research studies have established profiles of perpetrators of violence at work and school. Reality There have been no scientific studies of workplace homicide perpetrators US Secret Service Studies of school shooters and presidential assassins have shown that there is no definitive profile For any low incidence phenomenon, like workplace violence or suicide, even very sensitive tests result in an unacceptably high rate of false positives, i.e. overprediction. 20
21 The Olympic Park Bombing 21
22 #5 (cont d) Profiles have the problem of both false positives (over predicting who may be violent) and false negatives (missing those who do not fit the profile but are at risk. Empirically-based research has identified risk factors for non-fatal violence. 22
23 Myth vs. Reality #6: There are no profiles, so we can t assess risk. Reality Those who do act often share common characteristics, although the same characteristics may be present in a significant portion of the population Utility of investigating risk factors Heightened awareness Inform management strategy during an incident Determine level of risk, rather than predicting Risk factors have been identified 23
24 The Violence Formula Violence is the product of : Individual variables (personality traits and illness) Environmental variables (whether the environment promotes or dissuades violence) Situational variables (acute and chronic stress): FINAL Financial Intoxication Narcissistic injury Acute or chronic illness Losses 24
25 Aggressive and Violent Employees: Who Are These People? One description (Jockin,et al 2001) Sample of 489 employed men (32-36) asked about involvement in workplace aggression and conflict Involvement correlated with: Past antisocial behavior Alcohol abuse Tendency to stress reactions Aggressiveness Low self control Factors modified by perceived victimization 25
26 Validated Risk Factors for Organizations Pay cuts or freezes (Baron & Neuman, 1996) Use of part-time employees (Baron & Neuman, 1996) Changes in management (Baron & Neuman, 1996) Increased diversity in workforce (Baron & Neuman, 1996) Computer monitoring of employee-performance (Baron & Neuman, 1996) Reengineering (Baron & Neuman, 1996) Budget cuts (Baron & Neuman, 1996) Deteriorating physical workplace environment (Baron & Neuman, 1996) Workplace located in city (Baron et al., 1999) Employment in the industry is unexpectedly low (Catalano et al., 1993) Organization faces low work-group harmony (Cole et al., 1997) Conducting terminations with more than one employer present (Karl & Hancock, 1999) Conducting terminations on a Monday or Tuesday (Karl & Hancock, 1999) 26
27 Myth vs. Reality #7: Mental illness is the most significant risk factor for violence Reality Absent active psychotic symptoms, the risk of violence for mentally ill individuals (excluding substance abuse) is no higher than for demographically similar members of the same community who have never been treated 27
28 #7 (cont d) Psychotic symptoms most related to violence: threat/control override symptoms Symptoms which involve overriding of internal self-controls by external factors Symptoms which imply a specific threat of harm from others: How often have you felt that there were people who wished to do you harm? 28
29 #7 (cont d) Substance Abuse as a Risk Factor Self report of violence in previous year: DX % None 2 OCD 11 Bipolar/mania 11 Panic disorder 12 Major depression 12 Schizophrenia 13 Cannabis use/dependence 19 Alcohol use/dependence 25 Other use/dependence 35 29
30 The Role of Anger As part of a disorder - Anger attacks and depression - Anger and psychosis - Anger and personality disorders As a personality trait 30
31 Myth vs. Reality #8: The main issue in threat assessment is on whether an actual threat has been made Reality Those who act often never threaten the subject Those who threaten often do not act Those who act may issue threats to third parties Important to distinguish targeted violence vs. impulsive violence 31
32 Myth vs. Reality #9: It will never happen to us. vs. It will definitely happen to us. Realities of risk perception Probability neglect: When strong emotions are involved, people focus on the severity of the outcome, rather than the probability that the outcome will occur We tend to overestimate the likelihood of low probability events, and underestimate the likelihood of higher probability events Risk appreciation factors Availability of an example Identification with the victims Nearness to the event Nature of the trauma Perception that the risk can be reduced 32
33 Myth vs. Reality #10: These situations are best handled by a single person. Reality These are complicated problems; no two are exactly alike No one field has the requisite knowledge and insight to sort these all out Information, the decision making process, and organization are key Team approach provides the highest yield 33
34 Effective Strategies in Assessing and Managing Threats and Violence 34
35 Risk Assessment and Management Many moving parts to the problem Focus on behavior rather than diagnosis It s a clinical management problem that requires Obtaining as accurate a history as possible Assessment of risk factors An understanding of how to modify the risk factors to decrease the risk of harm to individuals (including the subject of concern) and the organization 35
36 Effective Strategies 36
37 Effective Strategies Workplace violence and crisis management policies in every organization Threat management teams Outside consultation available as needed Incident Command System model Liaison with local law enforcement Published resources ASIS International (2005): Workplace Violence Prevention and Response Guideline ATAP (2005): Violence Risk Assessment Guideline 37
38 Early Interventions to Head Off Problems Detecting conflict Conflict resolution strategies Stress management Does this employee need help? Talk to them Clinical referrals, e.g. EAP, company physician Expectations for the clinical referral Fitness for duty evaluations 38
39 Counseling the Problem Employee Be aware of, but don t anticipate, the worst. Empathy Respect: humiliation as a risk factor Limit setting Honesty Generosity Flexibility Privacy 39
40 Response to an Ongoing Event Leadership is key Visible Communications Information: specific, actionable, accurate Priorities: safety, health, food/water, family contact Managing the perceived threat Safety first Understanding the motivation of the threat Perception of victimization is key 40
41 The Twelve Principles to Defusing a Hostile Customer Deal with the feelings first Avoid Coming Across as bureaucratic Each situation is different Strive to control the interaction Begin defusing early Be assertive, not aggressive or passive If you lose control of yourself, you lose, period What you focus on, you get more of Don't supply ammunition Don't ask questions you don't want to hear answers to Avoid inadvertent errors Avoid high risk, high gain behavior 41
42 The Aftermath: Responding to Victims Threat or other perceived danger Empathy Setting limits on demands Education vs risk perception Honesty Generosity Flexibility Privacy 42
43 The Aftermath: Responding to Victims Actual violent event Physical safety comes first Communication Employees in touch with families Media Customers and investors Honesty What is known What was done Further follow up Arranging for follow-up services Internal External 43
44 Post-Event Response What do people need to avoid long-term psychological consequences? The prevalence of resilience Efficacy of community support 44
45 Conclusion Greatest risk of violence is from outside The dangers of profiles Risk assessment as a process Identification and management requires: Policies Enforcement Awareness of risk factors Flexibility Willingness to respond Ability to respond Cooperation Recognition that it s rarely easy Team approach 45
