IS THERE STILL MORE TO BE DONE?

I have been asking myself this question the past few days, “Was it my approach or is there just not enough concern?”

You see, I have been developing a training program that covers women safety when traveling as I have been a solo traveler on many occasions and have come upon a number of situations that had a potential to place a solo traveler in harms way, but more specific a female traveler. Then there is the fact that time and again we see where women continue to be victimized. Most recently are the high profile assault cases of women hotel workers.

A week ago I telephoned a vice-president of a hotel company that owns and operates about 100 luxury hotels and resorts in Maine and across the United States and Canada. I asked if there would be a time when I could speak with him about some thoughts I had about ways to improve safety for women travelers checking in and staying in hotels. The response I received was unsettling.

Gatekeepers

Why are there no gatekeepers?

In a previous newsletter I wrote an article about the lack of security at courthouses and hospitals. The article mentioned a shooting in a Georgia hospital where three people were killed. This shooting came out of revenge against the nurses who the shooter blamed for his mother’s death. Other shootings in hospitals have been recorded where it involved family members who were bedridden and could not escape the shooter, usually the result of previous domestic violence.

WORKPLACE VIOLENCE

Do not overlook the signs of workplace violence. Today’s post is about facts; facts that should not be ignored.

Workplace Violence has been an emerging concern since the early 1990s. According to the U.S. Occupational Safety & Health Administration (OSHA) homicide is the second leading cause of death in the workplace.

CODE OF ETHICS

Ethics in the workplace involves encouraging employers, employees and volunteers to practice ethical decision making. But what exactly does this mean.

BEING THERE FOR MILITARY FAMILIES

Today we honor the men and women who have served in our military. We also honor family members whose sacrifices too often go unnoticed. But as I watch the Memorial Day celebration in Washington, D.C. and hear the stories about those who have died or are left with physical and emotional injuries, I cannot help but go back to the question I have had for a long time. Is our government doing enough to support veterans and their family?
