An organization cannot evaluate effectiveness without measuring indicators. Measuring and evaluating your program is vital in guiding program improvement. Evaluation is a critical component of a workplace violence prevention program to determine the program’s effectiveness and highlight opportunities to enhance the program.2The set of indicators should be comprehensive, include both leading and lagging indicators from Qualitative and Quantitative sources, and enable performance measurement and reporting at the provincial and the local level.
Goals of program evaluation:
Create and maintain a safe working environment without the threat of violence
Review, revise, enhance and improve program components
Identify and implement corrective measures that may prevent subsequent violent situations
Modify the program when insufficiencies are identified in policies, procedures, and employee training/education
Quantitative sources of information:
Violence reporting data
Environmental assessment data and workplace inspection reports
Qualitative sources of information:
Data from training evaluations, staff surveys, compliance audits2
