Enterprise Risk Assessment

Enterprise Risk Management (ERM) Companies have put in place were built on the internationally-accepted IS0 31000 risk management standard. In the application and evolution of this process, the Companies are committed to increasing the use of quantification within its evaluation and prioritization of risks.3 This includes identifying leading indicators of risk.  This plan describe the key outputs of the ERM process and resultant risk mitigations. In accordance with the ERM process, this section describes the risk classification, possible drivers, and potential consequences of the Workplace Violence risk.
 

Companies take compliance and managing risks seriously

Risk Classification
Companies classify this as a cross-cutting risk that affects people and is a function of employee or former employee conduct. Workplace Violence is a cross-cutting risk because an incident could occur in any department of the company.

Potential Drivers
When performing the risk assessment for Workplace Violence, the Companies identified potential indicators of risk, referred to as drivers, that could potentially lead to a Workplace Violence incident. These include, but are not limited to, the following drivers as defined below:

In addition to the above potential drivers, the Companies have identified potential circumstances that could contribute to Workplace Violence. These include, but are not limited to: extremist ideologies, personal issues or conflict, and mental health issues.

These potential drivers and circumstances are not intended to be a comprehensive list, as the types of workplace violence incidents vary greatly. The potential drivers and circumstances noted in this plan correspond with those in studies, such as the New York City Police Department’s “Active Shooter: Recommendations and Analysis for Risk Mitigation” and the Federal Bureau of Investigation’s These studies provide analysis of active shooter incidents showing a wide range of motivations, including domestic quarrels, professional differences, and mental health issues.

Potential Consequences
If one of the drivers listed above were to occur, resulting in an incident, the potential consequences, in a reasonable worst case scenario, could include:

These potential consequences were used in the scoring of the Workplace Violence risk that occurred during the Companies’
