As legal departments around the country look to develop more inclusive work environments, the question becomes how to maintain the momentum so that the initiatives of today elicit positive change in the generations to come.

When you think of “insider threats” it's difficult to not immediately default to privacy and cyber threats within your business. However, over the last decade, a new workplace hazard has emerged, one that is far more insidious, and unfortunately, becoming far too common. These threats can be anything from a disgruntled former employee, a violent spouse or family member, or one of your very own employees dealing with mental health challenges. Having a workplace violence framework has become vital to the safety and security of your workforce. Panelists in this session will discuss identifying threats, getting ahead of incidents, and ensuring legal, HR and security are all on the same page
