April is recognized as Workplace Violence Prevention Awareness Month – a time to raise consciousness about the prevalence and profound impact of violence in the workplace. At SSMC, we understand that fostering a safe, respectful environment for all employees is paramount for any organization’s success. We believe all employees deserve to feel safe and secure in their work environment, empowered to focus on their tasks without fear of intimidation or violence.

The Threat of Workplace Violence: Protecting Your People and Your Business
