How can you justify an investment when the return has yet to be accurately calculated?
Few organizations ever assemble a complete figure for what workplace violence costs them, because the pieces sit in different departments and adding them up is rarely anyone’s assignment. Without that total, prevention proposals tend to get scaled back.
Your Real Cost is Spread Across Multiple Departments
Each department holds a real figure, and each figure is only a fraction. The pieces almost never get added together, which leaves the total invisible to everyone, including you.
