The human side of workplace violence,
By Salsera (Central New Jersey) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Violence in the Workplace: A Prevention and Management Guide for Businesses (Paperback)
Baron's book gives the reader a comprehensive review of the human side of workplace violence in an easy-reading format. The first few chapters review a variety of national incidents and how the events affected victims, friends, relatives, co-workers, and the organizations where the violent incidents took place. Perhaps the most helpful part of Baron's book is his inclusion of Maslow's hierarchy which helps the reader to understand why some people behave in threatening or violent ways. The second half of the book covers prevention, hiring practices, training, and how to change employee behaviors to prevent violence. This is a great book to keep in your reference library or to use as a quick refresher when faced with an employee who shows signs of potential violence or uncivil behavior. I highly suggest reading the book if you are involved with drafting a workplace violence policy.
