Workplace Violence and Sexual Harassment Prevention Services

"Negligent lawsuits regarding workplace violence are costing employers an average of $500,000.00 for out of court settlements and 3 million dollars for cases that go to trial."
- The Occupational Safety and Health Act (OSHA), 2002 Workplace Violence Fact Sheet.

There are many problem areas where your choices to avoid the risk and liability are reduced to a single response…termination. Unfortunately, sometimes you are unaware a problem area exists until you are already exposed to liability. Risk Management is targeted at prevention, providing analysis and identification of areas of concern and potential liability.

Southwest EAP can increase your resources. Our counselors are experienced in working with employees when their continuing behavior poses a risk to them and to your company. We can provide identification and analysis of your areas of concern and potential liability.
