Weekly poll: Workplace violence
The startling story about the death of Yale graduate student Annie M. Le, whose body was found in the wall of a laboratory, has been a shocking reminder that workplace violence can be more serious than we’d all like to believe.
Between unruly patients and the high stress environment, workplace violence can be especially prevalent in the healthcare setting, which makes it even more important to have policies and training to recognize and prevent violence so that employees feel safe coming to work.
Does your facility have these policies in place? Do you feel safe coming to work?
