Consulting

From crisis management and employee relations to workplace transitions and staff training, my expertise in both human resources and threat management helps strengthen every aspect of your workplace. I can help you navigate through a high-risk separation or crisis incident, then provide follow-up consulting, training, and workplace policy analysis that will help you and your employees move forward.

Working closely with your organization and stakeholders, I will assess your unique culture, strengths, and opportunities to reduce risk. Then we will partner to build a thriving workplace. I provide custom training and consulting to guide you and your team to build a culture that is safe, trusting, and high-performing.

Behavioral Threat Assessment

I guide organizations through behavioral threat assessment, a science-backed way to identify threats of targeted violence, assess them, and develop strategies to manage the risk.

Incident Response

What happens after a situation? When a current or former employee makes threats, the fear does not go away when they leave employment. I help organizations respond effectively to threats and make lasting changes to make the workplace safer moving forward.

Employee Relations

I help organizations of all sizes handle tough employee relations situations and build towards long-term trust and safety. I can support you with investigations, contract negotiations, discipline, and difficult separations.

Policy Development

Are you compliant with workplace violence prevention regulations? Do your HR and security policies align? I’ll help you analyze gaps and develop policies for compliance and assurance, so that employees know what to expect and what’s expected of them.
