Press Release Summary: Overall growth of an organization can be hindered due to the
epidemic called \"workplace violence.\"

Press Release Body: For Immediate Release

FAIRFAX, Va./ November 30, 2007 --- The Employee Assistance Program devised by
Integrated Global Business Solutions helps employees become familiar with the
experts who can help them when they come across any violent situation at their
workplace. Avoiding workplace violence helps foster the talent of employees, thus
helping organizations to grow. Companies need effective and practical ways to avoid
the epidemic called \"workplace violence\" because overall growth of an organization
can be hindered by it - violence affects both the employees and employers.

As managers around the U.S. find various cases of physical or psychological violence
in their companies, a systematic, participative and targeted approach is what they
find to be successful in tackling this problematic issue.

Eric Reed, director of strategy and technology - Integrated Global Business
Solutions, suggests, \"Hiring processes can help in preventing employee-instigated
violence. Written tests, aptitude tests and interviews give an idea of the
personality traits that the candidate possesses. Not only will you find whether the
person is suitable for the job requirements of your firm, but you can also discover
hidden facets of the candidate\'s personality.\"

He further adds, \"Identification of the problem is the first step towards solving
it. So the first concern of any workplace violence prevention program should be the
analysis of the cause of any such behavior. The next step is to develop a workable
solution for it.\"

The escalating graph of physical or psychological violence occurring at workplaces
nationwide can be reduced with the help of training. These training sessions,
conducted by industry experts, aim to first discuss and then resolve any problems
faced by employees.

Most of the incidents of workplace violence go unreported. This can encourage the
tormentor to further trouble the victim. Information circulation, open and
transparent communication can help reduce frustration & tension among employees,
eventually leading to a more secure and stress free atmosphere for them.

Some tried and tested methods, such as group discussions, office and personnel
meetings and a few others, can help reduce incidents of violent behavior in the
workplace. Such activities offer employees a platform to speak out about any of the
personal or professional problems they might be facing.

Also, regular feedback from employees can help management to evaluate the
effectiveness of the changes that have been implemented, thus helping them to avoid
aggression at workplace.
