WORKPLACE VIOLENCE PREVENTION

According to the Bureau of Justice Statistics, an estimated 1.7 million workers are injured each year during workplace assaults; in addition, violent workplace incidents account for 18% of all violent crime in the United States [Bureau of Justice Statistics 2001]. Liberty Mutual, in its annual Workplace Safety Index, cites “assaults and violent acts” as the 10th leading cause of nonfatal occupational injury in 2002, representing about 1% of all workplace injuries and a cost of $400 million [Liberty Mutual 2004]. During the 13-year period from 1992 to 2004, an average of 807 workplace homicides occurred annually in the United States, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) Census of Fatal Occupational Injuries (CFOI) [BLS 2005]. Domestic violence is the leading cause of injury to women in the United States. Keep your organization free from violence.

ACTION COACHING – Action + Awareness = Change!

Our Action Coaches are licensed to provide a powerful technique called ATAP which speeds up the process of executives, employees and individuals to break through areas that seem to hold them back from achieving their goals. Our coaches provide support systems in which you will learn to enhance your life and find that happiness comes from within and not from others. We partner with you to help you improve and succeed in a way you’ve always known is possible by identifying triggers and negative patterns.

Action Coaching is personally designed for the individual and their unique needs – it will focus your attention on your passions and help you transform them into achievable goals. You will become proactive instead of reactive and stop sabotaging subconsciously and consciously. Coaching is designed to help you create a vision for your future, and support you in making the type of changes in your life that you believe are necessary to get you into emotional, psychological, physical and spiritual balance for optimum living.
