Scenario #3 is the one that I will be discussing for this case study. Conflicts will arise no matter where you work, it is almost impossible to avoid them. No two people think exactly the same and it is important to communicate to minimize conflict but embrace and learn from situations when they arise. Conflicts should never be left unresolved as people can grow significantly frustrated and the results can be deadly. Workplace violence has happened many times in the past and scenario #3 could possibly result in such from either the workers or their loved ones. Scenario #3 discusses an SVP, named Robert, who is being completely unprofessional in dealing with his employees. I will seek to investigate and understand the root of the problem, along with giving recommendations to my boss as a result of my investigation.
Which of the following statements BEST defines how current legislative approaches define workplace violence and aggression?
The trade-off is the alternate policy for lateral violence for the nursing staff. This policy alternatives encompass an effective education and training to create awareness of the issues of LV which should not be tolerated or endure by any staff. Holding health care settings accountable and imposing a zero tolerance policy of LV against nursing staff versus previous policy. The OSHA policy on workplace violence failed to specify violence by type. Rather, LV was placed under the blanket of assaults (hazard) at the workplace, which have created a huge loophole for organizations not to take precautionary measures on LV against nurses. In this case, a mandate must be place to give nurses the avenue to reporting LV
The NYP policy is to promote a safe environment for all our employees to maintain a work environment that is free from violence, harassment, intimidation, and other disruptive behavior.
Workplace violence (WPV) has the potential to affect every job in the United States. The growing problem deserves attention and needs to be mended. Compared to other businesses, those who work in healthcare are five times more likely to become victims of WPV (Arnetz et al., 2015). While it is true that every healthcare worker has the potential for being a victim, the nursing profession is the most frequently targeted hospital personnel of verbal and physical violence (Kynoch, Wu, & Chang, 2011). Close and consistent proximately to patients puts nurses in the direct path of potentially violent situations. The emergency department (ED) is a specifically vulnerable area where nurses are targeted. Patients and visitors are both culprits of aggression
Workplace violence (WPV) has been an increasing problem for many years, but it is hitting the healthcare profession hardest.(1) A crime survey done in 2014 by the International Association for Healthcare Security and Safety (IAHSS) found that violent crimes in the US healthcare system increased by 25% from 2012 to 2013.(2) Nearly 24,000 assaults in the work environment occur every year, with nearly 70-75% occurring to healthcare providers alone.(3, 4) Due to this increased risk of assault while working, healthcare workers are nearly 4 times as likely to need time off of work due to an injury caused by workplace violence than any other cause (i.e. illness, family leave, etc).(3) In a 2001 document from the United States Bureau of Justice, it was reported that 1.62% of physicians were assaulted (16.2 assaults per 1,000), 2.19% of nurses were assaulted (21.9 assaults per 1,000 nurses), and 0.85% of other healthcare workers (with varying job titles) were assaulted (8.5 assaults per 1,000 employees).(5) In 2011, the United States Bureau of Justice measured the workplace violence rate for nurses to be 3.9% (3.9 assaults per 1,000), almost doubling the numbers from 2001 in just 10 years.(1) The United States Bureau of Justice also reported that of the 100 fatalities that occurred in the workplace of healthcare and social service employees in 2013, 27 of the fatalities were due to violent attacks and assaults.(4)
For any generation, since the birth of America, over the years, immigration has been a fluctuating staple at the core of her history. Choosing A Dream, written by Mario Puzo on July 11, 1999, depicts a poor immigrant Italian boy in the Neapolitan ghetto of New York with his dreams of becoming an artist. Despite all the obstacles and restrictions imposed by his status of a son of immigrant parents, he succeeds at his endeavor of becoming a writer. In Christmas Story: The Loudest Voice, written by Grace Paley and posted on December 30, 2015, Shirley Abramowitz, the daughter of Jewish immigrants to America, recounts the memory of her narrating the Christmas play in school. Both stories are written in first person, from the point of view of two children immigrants forced to adapt to American society; As such, we will compare and contrast their similarities and differences during their integration into this new mesh of social disparity and the way American culture had heterogeneous effects on one and the other.
The two words I'd describe my experience in the Mac Writers would be fun and challenging the reason that I chose those two words that it is challenging to write an article for everyone to see and the fun bit is you get to make new friends and socialize with those people if you know I am a pretty shy person, but I love writing and reading it expresses who I am anyway enough about me so the first issue was a success we got great reviews over it, but we Didn't use the juniors, but that fine in this issue coming up they will and I'm pretty excited and nervous about that, but with Mr. Whalley and the Mac Writers it made it fun I've only been in Mac Writers only for a term I think well it's been a while I've heard that mac writers was pretty hard
Workplace violence has existed throughout history. However, historical documentation of workplace violence is vague and sometimes non-existent. Documented workplace violence is believed to have existed during the Roman Empire, the Renaissance Era, and it continues today. It seems unfortunate, but as long as a “society” exists, workplace violence will more than likely exist. Therefore, employers must understand: the history of workplace violence, the effects it has on the organization, the reasons why it occurs, the warning signs, and ways to prevent it from occurring. Most importantly, it is the responsibility of the Manager, to not only understand workplace violence, but to ensure that all employees
Nursing care goes beyond just treating patients and caring for them and their families, it consists of long hours, working holidays, being an advocate, being under paid, and much more. One rising concern is violence in the workplace. It is believed that “health professionals are 16 times more likely to suffer violence at work compared to professionals in all other areas (Lancman, Mangia, Muramoto, 2013, p. 520). This can have many long lasting effects on the affected individuals.
Zara, one of the world’s largest apparel retailers, was founded in 1975 in La Coruna, Spain. With its successful rollout in the Spanish market, it began to expand its stores around the world, and became one of the most profitable brands in the appalling market. Zara was famous for its ability to quickly respond to the market demands, which provided a useful lesson in terms of competitive advantage with its rivals. But confronting to the fast-paced and constantly changing market, if a company wants to consistently increase market share in order to survive in the competitive market, it is irrefutable that it needs to achieve sustainable competitive advantage, since the achievement of sustainable competitive advantage can be expected to lead to higher performance.
The National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) describes workplace violence as any physical assault, intimidating behavior or verbal abuse transpiring in the workplace. Workplace violence in healthcare settings, more specifically patients violence towards nurses, has become quite common or even “accepted” throughout the years as sometimes patients express aggression toward those entrusted with providing their care. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics in 2014 35% to 80% of hospital staff reported being victim of at least one assault during their career (Bureau of Labor Statistics, 2014). Furthermore, a study done by Gunaydin & Kutlu (2012) reported that fewer than 50% of nurses who were victims of patient violence reported their assault, as many believe it is common and that it “comes with the job.” (p. 5). According to the International Council of Nurses, “healthcare workers are more likely to be attacked at work than prison guards and police officers; Contributing factors include a patient’s mental or physical status, stress, environmental conditions such as overcrowded waiting rooms, poor communication with nurse and so on (ICN, 2010).
Employees encountering the biggest number of vicious attacks are those in medicinal services occupations—attendants specifics, and specialists, medical attendants and assistants who manage psychiatric patients; individuals from crisis restorative reaction groups; and doctor 's facility workers working in confirmations, crisis rooms, and emergency or intense consideration unit.
Workplace violence is a phenomenon that is now widely recognized as a social problem, which impacts all organizations.

We can witness acts of violence, and even become a victim of aggressor. Usually people think that violence involves only physical assault. In reality, workplace violence is a much bigger problem.
