Axonify, a leader in frontline employee learning and enablement, launches new Workplace Violence Prevention Training for frontline employees amid the continued increase in workplace violence in the United States. As these types of incidents surge and fraudulent activities continue to pose significant threats across industries, Axonify is taking additional measures to provide crucial support to frontline organizations.
Axonify’s new content offering launches in time to support California’s Senate Bill 553 and New York’s Retail Worker Safety Act S8358. This Legislation requires employers to develop and implement employee training programs to prevent workplace violence, maintain training records and conduct annual reviews.
With violence, theft and confrontations on the rise in retail, grocery and other frontline workplaces, Axonify’s research revealed that 40% of grocery and retail associates feel scared to go to work, and 71% of frontline managers are concerned with the security and personal safety of their workers and customers.
