Although each situation is different, there are certain common threads among Los Altos companies that request security during major corporate developments. Two of the most common are hostile terminations and rounds of layoffs. It’s not unusual for ex-employees to make veiled or even explicit threats during these incidents, and you want to make sure your people are safe in the event that someone carries out a threat.
Other situations are less common but can still represent potential danger for your staff. If one of your employees is experiencing domestic violence or has gone through a breakup or divorce, these situations could spill over into workplace violence. Also, hostile work situations often result in temper flareups and violent actions. And don’t forget that your top executives may be especially vulnerable when they are traveling abroad. Putting executive protection services in place can help you mitigate risk and liability in each of these situations. However, if you believe there is an immediate physical threat to you or your employees, please call 911.
