Domestic violence cases require special handling and TAMA Inc. has experience in dealing with these delicate matters. If your challenge is that this situation is having an impact in the workplace we can help you manage the situation for a safe outcome.

As an employer, you have a duty to provide your employees with as safe a workplace as possible. This is true even when that risk may come into the workplace from outside. Domestic violence and stalking is a serious problem that doesn’t always stay away from the workplace. TAMA Inc. has vast experience dealing with these volatile situations and can assist employers to tackle the issues. Our expertise can make the difference in whether or not there is a safe outcome. If improperly handled these are the very types of situations that often go awry, sometimes with tragic outcomes.

Our collective challenge is to correctly identify the key escalation points on the way to lethality in domestic violence and stalking cases. The development of effective protocols, which can be administered early on, channels high-risk cases towards proper interventions. Doing this puts us well on our way to saving precious lives. Putting our efforts and resources into preventive programs rather than responsive and reactionary programs is where we want to focus our attention, for the sake of victims who need never be victims. Effectively developed and administered protocols work to reduce lethality by identifying the nuances of those who pose the highest risk, thus allowing for appropriate intervention.

The following article, authored by Heather Gray, illustrates how volatile domestic violence situations can be and how we can use threat assessment practices to manage them. It also speaks to the often tragic outcome when restraining orders are improperly applied.
