News reports of workplace violence understandably make responsible employers consider whether they are doing all they can to prevent similar incidents. This is especially true when the reports involve a mass shooting as was seen in San Bernardino, California, where 14 people were killed by a co-worker and his wife at a company holiday party.
While it may be impossible to completely prevent workplace shootings, employers would be wise to consider their current policies and practices and what they can do now to avoid a tragedy at their own company.
