Violence impact on community in this essay my main focus will be impact of violence on workplace work place aggression can have very disastrous impact on output of any institution its impact can be decreased productivity, increased stress on employee, reduced customer satisfaction and costly property damage. Because of workplace aggression there is estimation of 4.2 billion$ loss in 1992. Also I would like to emphasize on violence impact on our society the total loss in 2000 in US because of violence was more than 70 billion $ which affect health, welfare, low productivity and healthcare coast. As obvious we can see bad impacts of violence so, later in my discussion I would like to give some keys on how to handle workplace and society violence My first objective in this essay will be to describe how fetal violence is for our society and second objective is to give some solutions for it.
Violence impact on the community can be very fatal sometimes like mortality or morbidity. Mortality rate according to WHO - 1.66 million violence-related deaths (28.8/100,000) – 520,000, Homicide – 815,000, Suicide – 310,000, War-related of these 1.66 million deaths:
1.51.. Low and middle income countries (32.1/100,000)
0.15.. High-income countries (14.4/100,000)
Morbidity is a not-fatal violence it can have stressful and psychological impacts, loss of work potential and quality of life, any physical injury which doesn’t require medical care. Violence is something which can be seen in every age group but among all age groups its most commonly seen in youth for example consistent with America’s children: key national indicator of well-being, a report released in 1997 by the federal interagency forum on child and family statistics in Washington D.C., almost 2.6 million youth of ages 12 to 17 were victim of violent crime in 1994. For this study violent crime were defined as simple and assault, rape and robbery. Every year, many American workers report having been victims of workplace violence. In 2017 assaults resulted in 18,400 and 458 fatalities, consistent with injury fact. Certain industries like healthcare providers, service providers and education, are more susceptible to violence than others.
The organization’s official report of workplace aggression incidents like physical assaults and other sever incidents at each office during 14 month period [1995-1996] which was recorded by organization’s own security force and from statements of witness these assaults include credible threats like gun shoot threat, throwing dangerous object at any other employee and harm to employ property. Workplace aggression in first half of 14 month period are more often than in second half 312 workplace aggression in which 59 were physical assault and 253 other type of aggressions were reported in 140 workplaces all these incidents were raise against fellow employ and 36% were against supervisors.
The key reasons of workplace aggression is lack of pre-employment screening, workplace stress, lack of employ assistant program, denial, disgruntled customers and formers employees.
Solution to this problem is pre-employment screening company it’s a proactive approach, organization should have anti-aggression and anti-violence policies if person know about the policies and punishment against it there will be less incidence and while training employs should be practiced how to cope with heavy work load and stress.
At the glance as my topic is violence impact on the community and emphasizes on its effect on workplace which have a very disastrous impact on organization and country economic status also the main key reason are stress, denial, disgruntled customers and formers employees and lack of pre-employment screening and solution to these problems are anti-aggression, anti-violence policies, legal punishments and training for how to cope with high work load stress.
Implications from my research to peoples who are working with high stress and workload in any organization are that violence is not the answer of everything by acting it out one person will not only harm the opposite one but also get in trouble by himself, and if we view this as a wide range violence will decrease output of organization which will give negative effect to not only that organization but also to economic status of country too.
In future my research can be further extended by deep digging into workplace violence impact on socio-economic status of a country and also how finding towards decreasing violence by different procedures and techniques.
