Workplace Violence Prevention Programs

Drewry Consulting Group utilizes an evidence-based and multidisciplinary approach to help organizations develop sustainable Workplace Violence Prevention Programs tailored to their specific risks, culture, and operational environment.

Program Assessment

We begin by evaluating existing workplace violence prevention practices, policies, reporting mechanisms, and organizational capabilities to identify strengths, gaps, and opportunities for improvement.

Risk Assessment

Our consultants assess organizational risk factors, operational challenges, workforce characteristics, and environmental considerations that may contribute to workplace violence concerns.

Policy Development

We assist organizations in developing workplace violence prevention policies that clearly outline expectations, reporting procedures, response protocols, and organizational responsibilities.

Threat Assessment and Management Programs

We help organizations establish structured processes for evaluating concerning behaviors, managing threats, and implementing appropriate interventions before situations escalate.

Multidisciplinary Threat Assessment Teams

Our consultants provide guidance on forming and training multidisciplinary teams responsible for evaluating and managing workplace violence concerns.

Training and Awareness

We deliver customized training programs that help employees, supervisors, managers, and leadership recognize warning signs, understand reporting procedures, and build confidence in prevention and response efforts.

Exercises and Program Validation

Through tabletop exercises and program reviews, we help organizations evaluate effectiveness, strengthen capabilities, and continuously improve their prevention efforts.

Every program is customized to align with the organization's risks, workforce, and operational environment.

A large public-facing organization sought to strengthen its ability to identify, assess, and manage workplace violence risks following several incidents involving threatening behaviors, employee conflicts, and concerns regarding escalation pathways.

Leadership recognized the need for a formalized and proactive workplace violence prevention strategy.

Drewry Consulting Group conducted a comprehensive evaluation that included:

• Policy and procedure review
• Threat assessment capability evaluation
• Leadership interviews
• Reporting process assessment
• Employee awareness review
• Incident management evaluation
• Risk identification and gap analysis

The assessment identified opportunities to improve reporting mechanisms, establish formal threat assessment processes, clarify organizational responsibilities, enhance employee awareness, and strengthen leadership decision-making during complex situations.

The organization implemented a comprehensive Workplace Violence Prevention Program that included new policies, multidisciplinary threat assessment procedures, enhanced training, reporting improvements, and defined intervention protocols. Leadership gained greater confidence in its ability to identify and manage concerns before they escalated into violence.
