This week, we're examining the final mental health parity rules, a National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) memo on restrictive covenant limitations, and New York State's recently enacted workplace violence prevention law. Final Mental Health Parity Rules Released The U.S. Departments of Health and Human Services, Labor, and the Treasury recently issued final rules implementing new requirements and amending existing regulations under the Mental Health Parity and Addiction Equity Act (MHPAEA). The new rules further MHPAEA's goal of ensuring equal benefits for mental and physical treatment. NLRB General Counsel Seeks to Expand Limits on Restrictive Covenants NLRB General Counsel Jennifer Abruzzo released a memo earlier this month focused on further limits to restrictive covenants. According to the memo, the NLRB will seek expanded make-whole remedies for workers who allegedly miss job opportunities due to noncompete agreements they were required to sign. Abruzzo also condemned so-called “stay-or-pay” agreements. New York Enacts Workplace Violence Prevention Law New York State recently enacted the Retail Worker Safety Act, requiring retail employers to adopt a workplace violence prevention policy, implement workplace violence training for employees, and more.

Ensuring the safety of pediatric patients with sickle cell disease during anesthesia care can be a complex and demanding task, but what if you had a detailed roadmap to navigate this critical process? Join us as we unpack essential strategies based on the June 2024 APSF Article, “Preoperative Transfusion and Sickle Cell Disease in the Pediatric Patient” by Rahul Baijal, Priti Dalal, and Megha Kanjia, specifically tailored for pediatric anesthesia care. We break down the crucial factors like sickle cell genotype, baseline hemoglobin levels, and disease severity, offering a comprehensive guide for developing patient-specific preoperative transfusion plans. Discover the importance of a collaborative, interdisciplinary approach and gain insights into detailed preoperative evaluations that include baseline pulmonary status and stroke risk assessment.Addressing another crucial aspect of patient safety, we turn our attention to the increasingly concerning issue of workplace violence in anesthesia settings. With alarming statistics showing high levels of harassment among anesthesiology faculty, the APSF has developed pivotal resources to combat this issue. Explore these video-triggered workshops that can raise awareness and foster important conversations within your team. These tools are designed to be integrated seamlessly into staff meetings and training sessions, aiming to create a safer, more supportive working environment.

Maciel, Rachel L. Conn, and Daniel C. DeaconWorkplace violence has been a focus for both the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (“OSHA”) and the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (“EEOC”) for several years, as it continues to be one of the leading causes of occupational injuries in the country every year. While OSHA has no specific standard for workplace violence, the OSH Act's General Duty Clause requires employers to provide a workplace free from recognized serious hazards, and OSHA has instituted enforcement actions under its General Duty Clause after incidents of workplace violence. OSHA has also initiated a rulemaking to address workplace violence in specific industries.California has taken the lead in implementing the first workplace violence rule in the country for general industry, requiring nearly all California employers (unless they fall under one of the limited exemptions) to establish, implement, and maintain an “effective” written workplace violence prevention plan, investigate every incident workplace violence (broadly defined), create and maintain violent incident logs, conduct annual employee and supervisor training, and abide by additional recordkeeping requirements. This general industry rule follows the Cal/OSHA regulation on Workplace Violence Prevention in Health Care.The EEOC has also prioritized ways to effectively prevent and address workplace violence, particularly in the form of workplace harassment. And outside of OSHA and the EEOC, employers can also be held liable for workplace violence through other claims such as negligent hiring and supervision.Participants in this webinar will learn about:- What constitutes workplace violence- EEOC and OSHA enforcement priorities related to workplace violence- Legal risks associated with workplace violence- Updates on federal OSHA workplace violence rulemaking- California's New Workplace Violence law- Best practices for workplace violence prevention- Tips for responding to a workplace violence incident in your work

Leslie is joined by Tamara Lefcowitz, International Coordinator for the USW Health Care Workers Council. Tamara provides support to the union's more than 50,000 health care workers across the United States and Canada. Tamara got her start as a community organizer in 2006, investigating police misconduct for the City of Pittsburgh Citizen Police Review Board. In 2009, she began working with organized labor advocating for health care workers. She now proudly bargains contracts, trains activists, and organizes workers to advocate for themselves, their patients, and our communities. The two discuss how healthcare workers are taking safety into their own hands. Health care workers made incredible sacrifices to help their communities during the Covid-19 pandemic, relying on each other to protect their patients and themselves. Now, they're using that same solidarity to make huge improvements to their jobs, their workplaces and America's care system. Even before the pandemic, health care workers faced urgent threats to their workplace health and safety. Workplace violence has long been a problem for health care workers. In 2016 the GAO found that health care workers were at least five times more likely to experience violence on the job as workers in other industries. Now, threats against health care workers are rising. Legislation like the Workplace Violence Prevention for Healthcare and Social Service Workers Act would help provide meaningful protections, like compelling OSHA to establish an enforceable workplace violence standard. Unfortunately, it's been twice held up in the Senate. Longstanding problems with maintaining appropriate staffing levels were also exacerbated by the pandemic and also jeopardize health care workers' health. Nursing shortages are a real and urgent concern. But turnover in other positions like environmental services and dietary also hurts workers across the board and the care they can provide. The pandemic created additional hazards for health care workers, like a lack of adequate PPE and exposed glaring holes in the safety net, like the lack of OSHA guidance on infectious diseases. More than 3,600 health care workers died in the first year of the pandemic alone. And more than half are still reporting symptoms of burnout. This ended up putting not only health care workers at risk, but their patients and communities as well. Now, workers are taking matters into their own hands. One of the big things health care workers are doing is organizing. New research from the AFL-CIO shows that 71 percent of health care workers would join a union if they had the chance. Late last year roughly 500 Pittsburgh area health care workers voted unanimously to join the USW for a voice on the job. Unionized health care workers are also winning good contracts. Approximately 800 USW members at Oroville Hospital in Oroville, Calif., this fall ratified a contract that not only provides significant wage increases, but also establishes a labor-management safety committee that gives a real voice to the front-line workers who best know how to address the hazards they and their patients face every day. USW members at Copper Country Mental health in Houghton, Mich., just this week ratified a contract that includes hard-fought workplace violence language. Nurses at three Steward Health Care hospitals in Florida achieved protections from unsafe scheduling and the creation of an infectious disease task force in their new agreement, while workers at Kaleida Health in New York successfully fought for wages increases, a health and safety committee and the health system's commitment to create 500 new positions to address unsafe staffing issues. All of these successes come down to building relationships and working together – another way the USW is tackling workplace health and safety concerns in the health care sector – including a pilot program aimed at worker education and empowerment. This collective action is now resulting in better patient outcomes, more inspections for workplace hazards and better access to personal protective equipment (PPE), among many other advantages, making it good not only for workers but for whole communities.

Highlights From Today's Episode “If I have a patient who maybe comes in two or three times a month for an appointment, or maybe they're inpatient, I do want to focus on their baseline behavior. Because any deviation from that gives me the opportunity to practice situational awareness and know that something is happening.” Timestamp (TS) 07:36 “The number-one rule is you have to give your undivided attention. All too often we are multitasking and doing different things, and we're in a hurry, or it's the end of our shift, or we're working overtime. But when you just stop and drop everything and give that undivided attention and show that individual that you're there to support them and that you're listening to them and that you're there to help them, it makes a huge difference in setting the path for the rest of their journey.” TS 12:45 “Another reason why we don't see things reported is because a lot of our employees feel like, ‘Hey, it has to be an actual physical act of violence for me to report it. Someone has to actually hit me or grab me or throw something at me.' But workplace violence is defined by the Occupational Safety and Health Administration and other groups as all forms that include verbal aggression, verbal abuse, name calling, intimidation, workplace bullying, sexual harassment, sexual inuendo, in addition to those physical acts of violence.” TS 13:22 “Taking the time to ask questions, explain procedures, even talk about wait times—and in the meantime, tending to a physiological need. . . . Anything like that is a huge step in keeping that person closer to their baseline behavior.” TS 18:50 “We need to trust our intuition because if something doesn't feel right, it most likely isn't right. Sometimes our mind does not connect the dots there, but if the hair on the back of your neck stands up, listen to that.” TS 24:03 “[Another important factor is] training and education. You need some kind of training on de-escalation and it dovetails with personal safety. And the reason I say that is because when we talk about personal safety, we talk a lot about how we communicate, and a big piece of that is nonverbal communication. So, safety, communication, de-escalation, all of those things are important.” TS 29:48 “Know before you go. Have you reviewed a patient's chart? Is there a history? Say we have disruptive behavior—maybe we have a patient who is sexually inappropriate with female staff members. Do all staff members know? Is there a plan in place? . . . Check that patient's chart information. Are there behavioral indicators that we're concerned about or any red flags that we want to be aware of?” TS 31:07 “One major rule of de-escalation is that you cannot control somebody else's behavior. It's not possible. We can only control our own behavior. And by mastering that, we can influence another person's behavior. And hopefully, if they're at the top of that roller coaster, we're not riding up to meet them. We're staying down at the bottom. We want them to come down and meet us because that's when we're going to actually communicate and have a conversation. . . . And also know what our own boundaries are. We're human beings. I could be the best at de-escalation and always maintain my composure, but I have a tipping point as well.” TS 32:42 “Another thing that we don't often discuss is the importance of debriefing. We talk about, ‘Let's debrief as a team,' what went right, what went wrong, what were the triggers, what happened, is everybody okay? That includes physical injury and emotional injury, as well. But we are in the habit of only debriefing bad things. How about we debrief a good thing every once in a while?” TS 37:30

Where were you on April 20th, 1999? Many of us watched in horror that day as the news unfolded about of the Columbine School shootings. At the time I was working for a police psychology private practice about two miles from Columbine. What many don't know about me is that before my brother died, my area of expertise was violence prevention because of this tragedy and our group's response. My mentor Dr. John Nicoletti, I and others subsequently published two books:Violence Goes to School Violence Goes to CollegeAfter Carson died by suicide in 2004, I distanced myself from this work as the general public's connection between mental health conditions and community violence was one I did not want to reinforce. When I met Faith Kohler, however, the conversations about violence prevention, specifically workplace violence prevention resumed. In this conversation Faith Kohler talk about a holistic and multidisciplinary approach to mitigating and preventing workplace violence and our belief that trust and psychological safety are essential in any effective process. About Faith Kohler, JDFaith Kohler, J.D. is a licensed attorney and former federal agent with vast experience in risk and harm prevention. Throughout her law enforcement and private sector career Faith received national recognition for the creation of innovative, prevention-focused programs. The organizations she served include the U.S. Postal Service as well as cross-industry Fortune 500 companies. Her work enables organizations to address risk and build safer workplace culture using a holistic, multi-disciplinary approach. Her program architecture factors in enhanced employee experience, from physical to psychological safety; interventional response; improved collaboration between departments that reduces organizational and human risk; improved organizational mindset and employees behaviors for a safer, more preventive workplace culture. Faith is a mom to three grown sons and a feisty Jack Russell Terrier. She is also a published author, visual artist and social practice filmmaker. A frequent panelist and speaker on issues related to homelessness, violence prevention and other critical social issues, Faith uses her art as a platform to spark community conversations and change.

The FBI Way: Inside the Bureau's Code of Excellence by Frank Figliuzzi "A must read for serious leaders at every level." —General Barry R. McCaffrey (Ret.) The FBI’s former head of counterintelligence reveals the Bureau's field-tested playbook for unlocking individual and organizational excellence, illustrated through dramatic stories from his own storied career Frank Figliuzzi was the "Keeper of the Code," appointed the FBI’s Chief Inspector by then-Director Robert Mueller. Charged with overseeing sensitive internal inquiries and performance audits, he ensured each employee met the Bureau's exacting standards. Now, drawing on his distinguished career, Figliuzzi reveals how the Bureau achieves its extraordinary track record of excellence—from the training of new recruits in "The FBI Way" to the Bureau's rigorous maintenance of its standards up and down the organization. All good codes of conduct have one common trait: they reflect the core values of an organization. Individuals, companies, schools, teams, or any group seeking to codify their rules to live by must first establish core values. Figliuzzi has condensed the Bureau’s process of preserving and protecting its values into what he calls “The Seven C’s”. If you can adapt the concepts of Code, Conservancy, Clarity, Consequences, Compassion, Credibility, and Consistency, you can instill and preserve your values against all threats, internal and external. This is how the FBI does it. Figliuzzi’s role in the FBI gave him a unique opportunity to study patterns of conduct among high-achieving, ethical individuals and draw conclusions about why, when and how good people sometimes do bad things. Unafraid to identify FBI execs who erred, he cites them as the exceptions that prove the rule. Part pulse-pounding memoir, part practical playbook for excellence, The FBI Way shows readers how to apply the lessons he’s learned to their own lives: in business, management, and personal development.

This is Bryan Strawser, Principal and Chief Executive here at Bryghtpath. Today we're talking about the new American Society for Industrial Security Workplace Violence Prevention and Active Assailant prevention, intervention, and response standard, which was just published last month in June 2020. This is a revision to a nine-year-old standard that was originally published in 2011 that was simply titled the Workplace Violence Prevention and Intervention Standard. With this standard, a significant revision that is three years in the making delivers a set of vetted best practices that organizations can use to help build workplace violence prevention programs or improve upon programs that are already in place. Full disclosure here, I was a member of the technical committee for the duration of this effort starting three years ago in 2017. We wrapped up our work just a few months ago before the standard went through the final voting and approval process at both the American Society for Industrial Security or ASIS and the American National Standards Institute or ANSI, the standard is recognized and published by both. So this standard was developed through a multidisciplinary approach. There were more than 150 individuals involved, including a steering committee, although I think it had a different title and a technical committee. The role of the technical committee was to really generate a lot of the content and review content and suggest changes through multiple rounds of editing that have gone on over the past several years. The standard I actually started as an attempt to build an annex that addressed the issue of active assailants. A broader term about targeted workplace violence or active shooter incidents. It turned into a rewrite of the standard as we got into the work it just made more sense to look at the underlying standard and what we thought of is the active assailant annex, and how do we pull this together so that there's a comprehensive program that addresses all of these aspects. So this standard went through a multidisciplinary process. We had more than just security professionals involved in the steering and technical committees. We had law enforcement, human resources, we had experts in life safety, we had psychologists and behavioral scientists and more academic researchers on threat management and other aspects. There were a number of folks like me, who not only are members of ASIS but also members of the Association for Threat Assessment Professionals or ATAP, which I'm a member of that organization as well. So we had, I thought a really good group of experts working through these challenges over the last three years. If we take a look at the standard, we really see a handful of things that are contained in the standard. We see recommendations at a programmatic level about how to prevent this kind of violence from occurring, how to mitigate the risk of this kind of violence. We see a lot of content around establishing the right policies, procedures, and training so that employees understand what is concerning behavior and that they need to raise their hand and report upon this concerning behavior in order to prevent a workplace violence incident from occurring. In our experience and we've talked about this on the podcast before one of the great challenges in this area is helping folks to understand what is a threat, what really is concerning behavior and your responsibility to raise your hand and report and escalate that within your school or place of business, your workplace, or nonprofit, public sector agency. That we need to come forward with that information, and then let the threat management or threat assessment process work. We also have a new annex in the standard that addresses the issue of an active assailant. This touches on things like active shooter situations, but we're using the broader term of an active assailant. We recognize in the standard that an active assailant situation creates a crime scene, and that may create limitations of access to work areas for a period of time. We recognize the need for someone in the public information officer role or communications role to talk with the press. We highlight the need to have family notification processes, perhaps a reunification center for folks to meet their family members. So there's a lot of factors that come into the active assailant situation that is included in the new standard, the revised standard. Then I think most importantly, the standard incorporates nine years of lessons learned since 2011. What have we learned since that original standard was published? How terminology has changed, how planning assumptions have changed, and really kind of repositioned things to reflect on today's challenges that employers are faced with in terms of workplace violence prevention and dealing with active assailant situations. The standard is broadly written. It's applicable to all businesses in all industries, in all geographies. Certainly, there are some differences in duty to care laws and workplace safety regulations and firearm regulation from state to state, from country to country, and the standard addresses and recognizes that those differences may exist. The approaches that are outlined in the standard can be applied to anyone, it fits any kind of setting a school, a manufacturing facility, an office environment, a small business, a large organization. So it's really, I think, flexible in terms of what is contained in the standard and how you can choose to apply those actions, those recommendations within your business. The key idea that I think goes throughout the standard is that the standard establishes that we should have policies and procedures for trying to prevent these kinds of workplace violence incidents. That we help employees understand concerning behavior and to do something or say something about them when they occur. The standard is really about the organization having processes in place to manage a potential threat, mitigate potential acts of violence, but also understanding how to react and recover from a workplace violence incident that occurs, that involves that active assailant component. You can find the standard on the website for the American Society for Industrial Security that is ASISonline.org, follow the links to the standard, or you can go to the store and find it there as well. If you're an ASIS member it's completely free for you to read online, you can also purchase it as an electronic format, I believe that's a PDF, or you can purchase a paperback copy, a softcover copy that can be mailed to you. There is a charge for those, but ASIS members get 50% off the purchases of any standards. So there's at least some, a little break in there for you if you're an ASIS member. I enjoyed my time working on this standard. Again, it was a great group of folks and the technical committee experience is always interesting because you're working through multiple drafts and comment processes to get to a final product and this is a final product that I'm quite proud of, that we were able to pull together over the past three years. If you need help with your workplace violence prevention program or devising specific programs or exercises or plans around active shooter or active assailant situations, don't hesitate to reach out to us here at Bryghtpath at contact@bryghtpath.com or via phone at (612) 235-6435. That's it for this edition of the Managing Uncertainty podcast, we'll be back next week with another new episode. Be well.

March is women’s history month and March 8th was International Women’s Day. This is also a big year for commemorating women’s activism, with 2020 marking the centennial of women’s right to vote. To discuss some highlights of women's activism around the globe during the past year, Leslie is joined by Anna Fendley of the United Steelworkers Union (USW). Anna also shares some incredible insights on the USW's 'Women of Steel' program during the interview. Here are some of the details that Leslie and Anna covered during today's conversation. - Women of Steel: · The USW’s 'Women of Steel' is its program for empowering women leaders and activists. It began as a grassroots effort in Canada in the 1980s as an effort to combat sex discrimination. · Now it’s union-wide. Women of Steel work on a variety of issues that are important to women in the workplace: some of it iscommunity-based and some national. - Health care worker safety: · The union has long fought for protections for health care workers. The USW represents approximately 50,000 health care workers, many of whom are women. · This includes work on the Workplace Violence Prevention for Health Care and Social Service Workers Act (H.R. 1309), which passed the House late last year. · Many of the issues that the USW fights for, not just in 'Women of Steel,' but across the board, are now taking on a new resonance with the outbreak of COVID-19. · The USW and other unions have pushed to get OSHA to issue anemergency standard to protect front line workers in the wake of the virus. - Paid Leave · The issue of paid leave is also as urgent as it’s ever been. Even before the current crisis, the USW supported legislation that would expand leave, including the FAMILY Act. · Now, there is greater need. Lawmakers are proposing the 'Paid Sick Days for Public Health Emergencies and Personal Family Care Act.' · This issue does not just affect women, but because many women are caregivers in their families, access to benefits like paid leave help with gender equality. - Women’s Activism Internationally: · It’s not just domestically that the USW has been fighting for women’s rights. As a part of a global alliance of unions called IndustriALL, the union has been taking a wider view of women’s participation in the workforce. In November, they met in Geneva and set ambitious goals. These included increasing diversity in workplaces, finding ways to get more women into leadership positions, and combating gender based violence. Anna was part of the USW’s delegation. · The ILO has also set reducing gender based violence as one of its goals. It also announced that this year’s World Day for Safety and Health at Work, celebrated on April 28 dually as Workers Memorial Day, will focus on calling for the prohibition and prevention of violence and harassment in the workplace. As part of the campaign, the ILO will produce a global report highlighting how a comprehensive OSH (Occupational Safety and Health) framework at both national and workplace levels could address the epidemic of violence and harassment. · Women in Mexico have also started a grassroots movement against the violence they experience. o On International Women’s Day, 80,000 protestors took to the streets of Mexico City. This “Day Without Women” was intended to draw attention to femicide and government inaction. It’s estimated that ten women are killed in Mexico every day. The website for the United Steelworkers is USW.org and their Twitter and Instagram handle is @steelworkers. The Twitter handle for USW President Tom Conway is @USWblogger.

In this first episode of our series on podcasting, Jason Hartman hears founder of Palladium Education, Inc, Alex Haddox's story of how he began podcasting to enhance his business. One of Alex's favorite things to do was radio shows and was in public relations for many years. He began marketing his seminars through podcasts and building his brand. Alex currently has over 200 podcasts. He explains how he tracked downloads, noting that it takes a while to build up a listening audience. He learned how to engage the audience and to fulfill their desire for more episodes. He came up with the idea of doing a Quick Tip every other episode. As he posted these podcasts, his listening audience increased six-fold. He encourages consistency and diligence, explaining that having a passion for it, for the content, is very important for success. Alex calls podcasting a “long game.” He has his own equipment, does his own editing and uploading, and has low overhead costs. By joining a podcasting network, Alex's audience doubled. He explains the benefits of the podcast network, i.e. the support and rapport that is built, leading to a close knit group of podcasters. All in all, Alex has experienced great success with his podcasts, having never spent money on advertising for his show, and managing the process himself. Alex Haddox's diverse background led him to founding Palladium Education, Inc., Workplace Violence Prevention and Crisis Intervention Training. Mr. Haddox spent nearly a decade working for Amgen, Inc., one of the world's largest multinational biotech firms, as a Senior Business Analyst and Senior eLearning Analyst. Among his many projects, he designed instructor-led and e-learning training modules for the Global Regulatory Affairs and Safety Education and Development department. Mr. Haddox was also the Product Manager and co-founder of the Symantec AntiVirus Research Center (SARC). He was considered one of the world's leading computer virus experts, traveled worldwide on speaking engagements, and appeared on national television programs including Good Morning America, CNBC, the Discovery Channel and Fox News Network. He has been quoted in innumerable print publications from The New York Times to USA Today and was on the Advisory Board to the industry's leading publication, “Virus Bulletin.” Mr. Haddox is a skilled martial artist and self-defense instructor. He has nearly two decades of combined traditional martial arts training in multiple styles including American Kenpo, Hapkido and Gracie Jiu-Jitsu. Mr. Haddox also holds firearms instructor credentials from the National Rifle Association.
