More than two million American workers report being victimized by workplace violence which costs employers more than $120 billion a year. Our session will review workplace violence through the lens of all five phases of emergency management developing a workplace violence prevention program. For mitigation, employers need to identify risk factors for employees who may offend. For prevention, employers create a workplace zero tolerance policy for bad behavior that could lead to violence. For preparedness, training and exercises gives muscle memory for employees to know what to do should they need to "run, hide, or fight". The business continuity functions of recovery should focus on recovery issues such as crisis communications and post-traumatic stress disorder.

Learning Objectives

Upon completion, participants will be able to:

1. How to view workplace violence through the lens of all five phases of emergency management in order to develop a robust workplace violence prevention program.
2. What are the employer and employee risk factors and action that could lead to a violent situation?
3. Case studies of employers whose actions or inactions lead to workplace events.

The impact of implicit bias on physical security can have tremendous consequences. When a security professional must determine who is a threat or who belongs, their decisions and actions might be rooted in unwanted bias. Bias influences our perceptions about others, without our knowledge and consent—and is often misaligned with our personal beliefs and values about equality. It is critical for anyone interfacing with employees, customers, or the public—or anyone with oversight over physical security or a guard force, to be aware of how implicit bias affects our attitudes about others. Sadly, situations in which security professionals made biased judgments have resulted in tragic outcomes from job loss, reputational damage, lawsuits, and loss of life and human dignity. It’s more important than ever for security leaders to be thinking about the role of implicit bias in our industry.

This webinar is presented as part of ASIS Member Appreciation Month and is free and exclusive to ASIS members!

Learning Objectives

Upon completion, participants will be able to:

1. Increase awareness of what implicit bias is and why we need to be thinking about it.
2. Understand that implicit biases are universal; making associations is how we make sense of the world: when we unknowingly begin to associate groups of people with negative stereotypes, it has disastrous consequences.
3. Explore the impacts of implicit bias on the security environment.
4. Discuss real-life case studies and determine how implicit bias might have played a role in the decisions and actions of security professionals.
5. Think about ways to disrupt unwanted bias and how to educate and empower physical security professionals.

Effectively navigating a client through a difficult event requires more than just a firm understanding of crisis and threat management skills. Content knowledge is required, but not always sufficient. Beyond having content expertise, crisis and threat managers must also know how to emotionally engage and direct their clients so their crisis expertise can fully be utilized. How the crisis or threat manager handles those emotions, within themselves and within their clients, can make the difference between an effective or ineffective case outcome.

Through case studies and video material, this session provides practical guidelines for understanding client emotional reactions, including how to effectively engage, understand and redirect non-productive emotional reactions toward productive collaboration and case resolution.

This webinar is presented as part of ASIS Member Appreciation Month and is free and exclusive to ASIS members!

Learning Objectives

Upon completion, participants will be able to:

• Participants will be able to identify the most common 5 emotional reactions that individuals have when facing a life disrupting crisis.
• Participants will understand the 5 domains of Emotional Intelligence, and how to apply those specifically to high-stakes crisis and threat management situations.
• Participants will be able to apply key behavioral techniques to help support, calm and redirect clients to eliminate paralyzing fear and improve sound decision making during crisis situations.

Drills, testing, and exercises: any combination of these should be scheduled in your organization. However, are you missing opportunities to exercise an unified response including recovery? Join us for this interactive workshop to incorporate all phases of response into a robust exercise. We will highlight our cross-functional exercises with local, global and C-suite crisis teams. During regular fire drills is your crisis team convening concurrently to exercise their response? Have you simulated your continuity plans with the aftermath of an active threat? How do you exercise a terrorist event across international teams? Relevant to leaders of in-house security organizations, third-party security providers or continuity teams, bring your current exercise ideas for this best practice workshop.

Learning Objectives

Upon completion, participants will be able to:

• Session participants will evaluate current exercise plans, identifying ways to expand them to include additional internal response or continuity teams. This evolution will enable any security organization to enhance resilience by identifying gaps between cross-functional processes.   
• Session participants will learn to incorporate additional injects, third-parties and technologies to fully expand their existing exercise scenarios through their full response process. Participants can expect to leave with 3-5 ideas to utilize in any size organization, applicable to any global location.           
• Session participants will hear experiences and pitfalls of including C-suite executives in response exercises; as well as develop at least one scenario to includes these key stakeholders.

You've got a business continuity plan. It's reviewed, tested, maintained, and updated. Maybe you've even got some metrics that you report. That's great. But, have you asked yourself two critical questions: In a crisis, am I recoverable? And, how do I deliver value absent a crisis?  

This presentation looks at the critical link between Business Continuity and Crisis Management and challenges the notion that traditional plans are equivalent to readiness. Rather, I propose that security managers are in a unique position to drive value to their organization throughout a CM/BC planning process (not just at the end, or when something bad happens), and offer strategies for doing so.   

Learning Objectives

Upon completion, participants will be able to:

• Attendees will develop and understanding of Advanced Business Continuity Strategies and Concepts
• Attendees will examine practical experiences with convergence of disciplines: BC, Crisis Management, Security, Cyber
• Attendees will learn to challenge key assumptions and pitfalls inherent in common planning activities

The healthcare profession has become the most dangerous environment with regard to workplace violence. According to 2014 data provided by the Bureau of Labor Statistics, workers in the healthcare sector experience workplace violence related injuries at an estimated incidence rate of 8.2 per 10,000 full time workers. That is more than four times higher than the rate of 1.7 per 10,000 workers in the private sector. Community Based Security focused on reducing both risk and anxiety through Building Trust, Scenario Based Training and Technology, creates an environment where our healthcare community focuses on prevention, intervention and response to workplace violence. The presentation also focuses on first of its kind research underway on these security tactics.

Learning Objectives

Upon completion, participants will be able to:

1. How to implement community policing-based security models focused on trust, transparency and training. These include engaging stakeholders using nontraditional methods, applying CPTED principles and changing traditional incentive models to reshape how security officers approach security.  
2. How to effectively implement security strategies such as firearms programs, Taser Programs and Security K-9 Programs. Topics such as policy development, selection and training along with clinical engagement prior to implementation.
3. How to create law enforcement-based training scenarios designed for the health care environment clinical environment. Role playing, simulation, use of proper venues, training safety, along with effective use of force simulators will all be covered.
