    No School or Workplace Should be Insured without Proof of Prevention Policies and Procedures

    The WVPI will be publishing Part II of the Killer in the Next Cubicle which establishes the unfathomable costs to insurance companies associated with just a single episode of workplace violence.

    Earlier this year, the United States Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, released charge statistics for FY 2020.

Complaints of retaliation in the workplace constituted a whopping 55.8% of all charges filed by complaining parties during F/Y 2020. The following video

    Kathleen M. Bonczyk, MBA, Esq.

Then yesterday May 8, 2021, powerful bombs at the Sayed Ul-Shuhada High School in Kabul exploded, killing at least 58 people, many of whom were teenaged girls. Over 150 other people have been left injured. The death toll is expected to rise as searchers continue sifting through

    Essay: I was the victim of harassment by a bully, here's what I did about it

I was subjected to its indignity years ago while a Human Resources executive, and again later as an attorney. I have fought for the rights of marginalized clients who might not otherwise have access to counsel so much so that after leaving a mediation session a couple years back, the mediator was overheard saying "its always about the minorities with her."
