Workplace Violence, Threat Assessment, and Intervention

Negotiating with the Violent Disgruntled Worker and Mitigating the Threat of Violence by Employees, Customers, Strangers, and Domestic Partners

How do you fire the violent or threatening employee without being fired on? Today, murder is the number one cause of death for women in the workplace. It is the third leading cause of death for all employees. One in six violent crimes occur at work. How you respond to this "threat from within" will save lives and costly litigation.

The author of The SecurTest System, Steven C. Millwee, CPP, and The Threat From Within: Workplace Violence has developed a unique system of threat assessment tools and employee negotiation strategies. In over 28 years of use by corporations, there has been no incident of violent retaliation using this approach.

Steve is one of the highest rated speakers in the HR, security and management fields today. He is President and Chief Executive Officer of SecurTest, Inc., a national crisis management and applicant-screening firm in Tampa, Florida. He is the co-author with labor attorney John-Edward Alley of The Threat From Within: Workplace Violence. He is the author of The SecurTest System that consists of over 320 applicant and employment questionnaires that focus on workplace violence, theft, work performance, criminal history, and current illegal drug use, among others. He is a crisis management consultant to many American corporations conducting violence and threat assessments. Steve is considered one of the leading experts on negligent hiring, retention, security, and workplace violence.

Previously, Steve was the lead detective in the Unsolved Murder Unit of the Hillsborough County Sheriff's Office in Tampa, Florida. He formerly was with the Federal Bureau of Investigation in Washington D.C. He has over 34 years experience in crisis management, investigations, testing and management. He is also the author of "Staring Up the Stairs - Leadership Excellence", "Integrating HR Into the Security Function", and three other text books on law enforcement and security investigations.
