One of the major issues affecting the quality of worklife today is violence. Until the 1990s, workplace violence was virtually unknown.
Studies show that violence at work is steadily increasing.
Fear about violence among workers has also increased. A working group at HHS looked at this issue and developed a comprehensive strategy for addressing violence at the HHS worksite. The strategy is general enough to accommodate other sites and programs. Prevention is a key component of the strategy for addressing violence at the worksite. Prevention efforts include the creation and distribution of a brochure for employees.
