Overtime, violence has greatly
impacted the American workplace. According to the statistics put forward by the
Bureau of justice, the cost in lost wages alone is about $55 million dollars
per year. This figure does not in any case make mention of the degree of human
suffering as well as the economic and legal consequences that must have been
associated with workplace violence. This situation may have been averted or
reduced if only proper background check and pre-employment screenings were
carried out.
Although experts who have studied
workplace violence have come to conclude it’s difficult to be able to predict a
person who is going to be violent ahead of time. Notwithstanding, these same
experts have also come to realize that one predominant factor as far as work
place violence is concerned is the presence of a history of past violence. Due
to the reluctance that most employers have in giving a reference that is likely
to reveal past violence, performing a criminal background check and
pre-employment screening is often the most preferred way to help avoid
workplace violence in the first place.
