Translating Your Threat Assessment Approach

1121COVER.jpgNovember/December 2022 | COVER STORY

A U.S. company’s workplace violence training programs and approaches can fail to find fertile soil in its European branches. Developing and setting up a threat management program to work internationally needs restructuring and reframing to make it more acceptable for different teams.
