Workplace Violence Is a Daily Risk

Not Are Rare Event

In healthcare and social service environments, this risk is significantly higher. Workers in these fields are 4–5 times more likely to experience workplace violence injuries than other industries.

Workplace violence is often misunderstood.
It is not limited to extreme incidents. It includes:

  • Verbal threats
  • Intimidation and harassment
  • Physical aggression
  • Patient or client-initiated violence

Many incidents go unreported, and many organizations only act after escalation.

A prevention-first approach changes that.

The warning signs are almost always present

The warning signs are almost always present

Behavioral threat assessment is the most important and most underdeveloped prevention capability in most organizations. It is the process that catches warning signs, including statements, behavior changes, grievances, and planning indicators, before they escalate into an incident. Chris Grollnek builds this capability into organizations through the PRO Model™ Prevention layer. Selected by the DOJ as “A” national standard twice. Prevention outcomes documented across multiple environments.

Effective programs are not one-time trainings. They are systems built into daily operations, supported by leadership and reinforced through consistent training.

Threat Assessment & Prevention Consulting

  • Recognizing Behavioral Warning Signs: The specific indicators that precede targeted violence, including how to recognize them in statements, writing, online behavior, and in-person conduct. Evidence-based. Practical. Applicable to every organizational environment from schools to corporate campuses to houses of worship.

  • Building a Reporting Culture:  Warning signs only matter if someone reports them. Building an anonymous reporting culture, where people feel safe sharing what they observe without fear of being wrong or ignored, is the single most critical prevention capability an organization can develop. This is where most organizations have the biggest gap.

  • Multidisciplinary Threat Assessment Teams: How to build and operate the internal team responsible for evaluating reports, assessing risk, and coordinating intervention. Who belongs on the team, how it functions, and how it makes decisions that protect both the organization and the individual being assessed.

  • Intervention and Case Management: What to do when a threat assessment identifies a genuine concern. Intervention options, documentation requirements, law enforcement coordination, and ongoing case management that ensures the situation is resolved, not just noted.

The P.R.O. Model™ Framework

The P.R.O. Model™ Framework

The P.R.O. Model™ provides a structured framework for addressing workplace violence by focusing on Prevention, Response, and Options. While most training programs focus primarily on response, this model starts earlier, where the greatest opportunity to reduce harm exists.

Prevention & Response

Most workplace violence training focuses on what to do during an incident.

By that point, the situation has already escalated.

Prevention gives you time. Response uses it.
