SAN DIEGO, Aug. 19 /PRNewswire/ -- Imagine sitting in your office when suddenly gunshots begin to sound from inside your building. Coworkers are shrieking and diving under their desks to protect themselves from the barrage of bullets streaming throughout the office. You then notice it's one of your coworkers, someone you knew well, firing with the clear intent to cause bodily harm to you and all those around you. This is the exact situation that caused the CEO of that company to leave and become a partner in a San Diego-based organization known for pioneering violence prevention programs, Baron Center, Inc. (BCI).

With economical, financial and workplace issues casting a wave of distress over the American psyche, problematic, troublesome and hazardous behaviors in the workplace, like the prior example, are becoming exceedingly widespread. Known for pioneering workplace violence prevention programs, BCI is a San Diego-based consulting firm that offers a variety of behaviorally-focused consulting and training services designed to promote peaceful and productive workplaces. With special expertise in behavioral interventions and threat assessment, BCI also focuses on leadership coaching, organizational values and culture assessments and strategic human resources management.

As an example of BCI's proactive and disciplined approach, a company dealing with a disgruntled employee who had been leaving increasingly threatening voicemails at their office recently retained BCI. BCI's lead threat assessment team completed an investigation, including an interview with the employee in question and the company's management team. They then worked closely with the organization's CEO, HR and legal departments to create and carry out a termination in a collaborative and reassuring manner. BCI's focus was on the organization's safety, the individual's dignity, and a legally sound resolution. All worked out well, but it may not have without BCI's intervention.

Baron Center, Inc. (BCI) is a 14-year-old consulting and training firm with a rich history helping clients manage and improve workplace behaviors. Whether helping clients deal with dangerous and dysfunctional workplace behaviors or helping an organization to reach maximum efficiency and full potential, the BCI team is true to their mission of "transforming organizations and changing lives."
