The Diocese of Springfield in Illinois and its agencies have a zero-tolerance policy for workplace violence. Employees who engage in workplace violence will be disciplined up to and including termination.

Employees should not engage in either physical or verbal confrontation with a potentially violent individual. If an employee encounters an individual who is threatening immediate harm to an employee or visitor on the premises, the employee should contact an emergency agency (such as 911) immediately.

All instances of workplace violence should be reported to the pastor, principal, supervisor or agency director immediately.
