🔍 Preventing and Responding to Workplace Violence In the UK, workplace violence remains a pressing concern, with thousands of workers facing threats ranging from physical assaults to verbal abuse each year. Such incidents not only impact employee well-being but also expose businesses to significant liabilities. We've looked at the advice and information from the government and industry bodies. 🚨 What You Need to Know: Types of Violence: From criminal acts to internal conflicts and even hate crimes, the spectrum of workplace violence is broad. High-Risk Sectors: Healthcare, retail, and public services see higher instances of violence, with nearly 15% of NHS staff reporting physical violence last year. Prevention and Response: Effective strategies include thorough risk assessments, secure workplace environments, and strong policies against violence, supported by training in de-escalation and, where appropriate, self-defence. 🛡️ Employers should establish a zero-tolerance stance on violence, offering support through conflict resolution training and access to mental health resources. In light of the increasing shift to remote work, the issue of domestic violence also demands attention, requiring discreet support from HR departments. 📚 Resources: The Health and Safety Executive and the Chartered Institute of Personnel and Development (CIPD) provide valuable guidelines and training resources that can help enhance workplace safety and employee well-being.

🚨 As Baby Boomers approach retirement, businesses face a big challenge: the loss of a wealth of experience. 🧓 👵 While it’s important to hire Gen-Z, and bring in new talent, older employees often hold senior positions and have valuable knowledge about company culture, processes, and important client relationships—information that isn’t always written down and can be lost when they leave. Without a solid plan, companies quickly find themselves in a rush to fill leadership roles and skills gaps as these experienced professionals leave their jobs. Our five-step plan will boost your business continuity resilience and set the next generation up for success. #OKBoomer #GenZ #MonsterUK #Mentor #Retiree
