Preventing Threats at Work with Philip Grindell

The guest this time is Philip Grindell, a behavioral threat management and protective intelligence consultant preventing & resolving 'concerning & threatening behaviors' within private and corporate orgs.

Questions for Phillip include:

• Your company, Defuse, is a behavioral threat management specialist, with expertise in preventing and resolving issues with concerning behaviors from problematic, fixated, and obsessive people. Tell us more.
• So the mission of Defuse is to "enable the clients we work with to feel safer." In what situations may employees and leaders feel unsafe and how common is this?
• What are some of the behaviors that should be reported?
• Checks and balances - your behavioral analysis and profiling, you claim, enables you to provide your clients with a very bespoke response to any behavior or communications of concern. Tell us about the science behind behavioral analysis and profiling. How much remains subjective and what checks are in place to ensure you identify the correct perpetrators? 
• You use a very loaded term, 'workplace violence'. What would you say to folks who'd argue that it's unfair to put all 'offenders' in a bucket labeled 'violent'? 
• What are the 4 categories that makeup ‘workplace violence’?
