"I came to IALR in 2006 as a VT mechanical engineering graduate student and immediately began conducting cutting edge research in robotics and unmanned systems in IALR's brand new state-of-the-art facility. I gained invaluable real world experience in hardware and software design, teamwork and project management. My experience throughout the two years exceeded my expectations, and I would not change a thing about my decision to earn my graduate degree from VT in Southside Virginia at IALR."

INTEGRATED THREAT MANAGEMENT: 

A Systematic Approach to Identifying, Assessing, and Managing

Threatening & Violent Behaviors in the Workplace 

 

Over the last several months, several national incidents have again brought attention to critical issues regarding management of situations involving persons who engage in threatening and violent behaviors in the workplace.  These behaviors may range from tactics of bullying and intimidation, to acts of violence that devastate a workplace or community.  Managers are increasingly involved in collaborative approaches designed to mitigate potentially violent situations and to sustain continuity of business operations.  In this session, participants will learn best practices in how to develop and implement multi-disciplinary approaches to threat assessment and management, leading to more effective (and safer) resolutions of disruptive and potentially dangerous situations.
