Overview of the webinar
No sooner did America emerge from the pandemic and Americans return to their workplaces than a rash of workplace shootings and other acts of violence tainted the return. In the first week of 2023, two people were killed at a McDonalds in Searcy, Ark., and three people were shot and wounded at a Walmart in Chicago, according to the Gun Violence Archive, a nonprofit data collection group based in Washington, D.C.
