Workplace Violence: Planning for Prevention and Response ReviewYou probably don't give it a thought anymore, those fire extinguishers that dot the landscape of your workplace, the automated electronic defibrillator that is now a common sight in your favorite restaurant or gym, or the life preserver you don for those cruise ship drills that you hope will remain only as drills. What many places still ignore and still don't prepare for is violence in the workplace. Do you know what you would do or where you would go if you heard shots coming from the work floor, the hallway, or the cafeteria?
That brings us to "Workplace Violence" by Kim Kerr. He has written a "hybrid" textbook on "planning for prevention and response," as the subtitle says. I call it hybrid because it has the size and layout of a textbook, but does not have the objectives or quizzes that usually bracket each college or high school chapter.
As some reviewers have already said the text is not the most energizing, but it doesn't appear that this was Kerr's objective. It offers textbook analysis (sorry, bad choice of words) on what to do with violence narrowly avoided, legal obligations, work cultures that may breed violence, its impact on business, recognizing the early warning signs, dealing proactively with workplace anger, creating a framework for prevention and reaction, training (my cup of tea), cyber threats and many other topics within workplace violence. There are several appendices, actually A through L that can assist the Human Resources Department in establishing policy, practice and training in the event of something that most of us don't even wish to contemplate.
I give this book four stars. Its purpose is to be informative more than interesting. Interest level will rise dramatically if this is being opened because something already happened at work instead of planning for the possibility. It also caters to a narrow audience. This should be for the Human Resources Department or director that displays foresight and initiative. It stands as a good reference book.
I take away one star because it is not that interesting.
I hope it never becomes that interesting for us either.
