Overview

Violence at work is a topic that people in senior roles often avoid talking about.
However, crime surveys tell us that there are a significant number of violent
occurrences and even more threats to employees each year, particularly when
online threats are taken into account.

The UK Health and Safety Executive defines Violence at Work as any incident in
which a person is abused, threatened or assaulted in circumstances relating to their
work whether verbally or physically.

Aside from the considerable impact on the individual, violence at work can also affect
businesses, through higher sick leave rates, lower productivity and profitability, and
issues with recruitment and retention of staff.
