Workplace violence

Workplace violence is when someone does something bad or hurtful to another person while they are at work. This can be physical like hitting, kicking, or punching someone, or it can be verbal like saying bad things or yelling at someone.

Now, just like how we learn to be kind to others at home and school, there are rules in place to help people be kind and respectful to each other at work. These rules are called policies and they are made by the company or organization that you work for.

Sometimes, even with rules in place, people might still do bad things to each other at work. This can happen for a lot of different reasons, like being stressed out or angry about something else in their life.

When this happens, it's important for everyone at work to be safe and feel safe. So, there are people like managers, supervisors, or human resources that you can talk to if someone is being mean or hurting others at work. They will then try to fix the situation by talking to the person who is doing the bad thing or by taking other steps to keep people safe.

Overall, workplace violence is when someone hurts or does something bad to another person at work. We have rules and people in place to make sure everyone is safe and respects each other.
