Workplace Violence Prevention & Termination Security

Employee Termination Security

Fast Guard Service can provide security personnel for planned employee terminations involving:

• Disgruntled employees
• Prior workplace threats
• Aggressive behavior
• High-conflict terminations
• Sensitive management changes
• Employee disciplinary meetings
• Executive-level separations
• Staff reductions
• Layoffs
• Other elevated-risk workplace situations

Security coverage can be customized according to the workplace, circumstances and level of concern.

Workplace Violence Prevention Support

Security planning can help organizations reduce unnecessary exposure during situations where workplace conflict may escalate.

Fast Guard Service can support employers with:

• Visible security presence
• Controlled workplace access
• Pre-meeting security positioning
• Employee escort assistance
• Parking-area observation
• Restricted-area monitoring
• Post-termination security
• Incident documentation
• Emergency coordination

Security personnel are intended to support the employer’s workplace safety plan and established HR procedures.

Security Before the Termination Meeting

Planning should begin before the employee enters the termination meeting.

Depending on the situation, security personnel may be positioned:

• Near the meeting room
• In the lobby
• At employee entrances
• Near elevators
• In parking areas
• At another discreet location

The objective is to provide an appropriate security presence without unnecessarily disrupting normal business operations.

Security During the Termination

During a planned separation, security personnel can remain nearby and available if assistance is needed.

Depending on the assignment, duties may include:

• Monitoring the immediate area
• Maintaining access control
• Supporting HR and management
• Preventing unauthorized access to restricted areas
• Assisting with an orderly departure
• Documenting security-related incidents

The level of visibility can be adjusted depending on the circumstances.

Employee Escort From the Property

Fast Guard Service can provide security support when a terminated employee is required to leave the workplace.

Security personnel may assist with:

• Escorting the individual from the meeting area
• Monitoring collection of authorized personal belongings
• Maintaining separation from other employees
• Escorting the individual to the building exit
• Monitoring departure from the property
• Observing parking areas when appropriate

All procedures should follow the employer’s policies and applicable legal requirements.

Post-Termination Security

Security concerns do not always end when the termination meeting is completed.

Fast Guard Service can provide temporary post-termination coverage when management believes additional security is appropriate.

Coverage may include:

• Front entrance security
• Parking-area patrol
• Lobby security
• Employee escorts
• Restricted-access monitoring
• Temporary overnight coverage
• Security during expected return visits

The duration of post-termination security can be adjusted as circumstances change.

Workplace Separation Security

Not every workplace separation is a traditional employee termination.

Fast Guard Service can provide security support for:

• Resignations involving conflict
• Contractor removal
• Vendor separation
• Employee suspension
• Workplace investigations
• Management transitions
• Staff reductions
• Organizational restructuring

This allows employers to plan security around the actual situation rather than relying on a one-size-fits-all response.

Layoff and Reduction-in-Force Security

Large layoffs or reductions in force may require more extensive coordination than a single employee termination.

Fast Guard Service can provide security personnel for:

• Multi-employee separations
• Department closures
• Facility downsizing
• Corporate restructuring
• Location closures
• Scheduled reduction-in-force events

Security planning may include multiple posts, entrances, parking areas and staggered employee departures.

High-Risk Employee Termination Security

Some terminations present elevated concerns because of known behavior or circumstances.

Factors that may lead an employer to request increased security include:

• Threatening statements
• Aggressive behavior
• Prior workplace violence
• Domestic issues affecting the workplace
• Hostility toward management
• Repeated confrontations
• Access to sensitive areas
• Concern regarding retaliation
• Prior security incidents

Fast Guard Service can coordinate an appropriate security presence based on the employer’s stated concerns and assignment requirements.

Armed Security for Employee Terminations

Some situations may justify an armed security presence.

Fast Guard Service can provide armed personnel for qualifying assignments where management determines that an enhanced level of protection is appropriate.

Armed security may be considered when there are:

• Credible threats
• Prior violent conduct
• High-value or sensitive facilities
• Elevated risk assessments
• Other documented security concerns

The appropriate security level should be determined before the assignment.

Unarmed Termination Security

Many employee terminations can be supported effectively with professional unarmed security personnel.

Unarmed guards can provide:

• Visible deterrence
• Entrance monitoring
• Employee escort support
• Parking-area observation
• Access control
• Incident reporting

The appropriate type of guard depends on the circumstances and requested duties.

Executive and Senior-Level Terminations

Executive separations may require a more discreet security approach.

Fast Guard Service can support:

• Senior executives
• Managers
• Partners
• Key employees
• High-profile personnel

Coverage can be coordinated around confidentiality, office access, departure procedures and sensitive business operations.

Security for Healthcare Workplaces

Employee termination security may be needed at:

• Hospitals
• Medical offices
• Clinics
• Rehabilitation facilities

Healthcare environments may require additional attention to patient areas, employee entrances and restricted spaces.

• Retail stores

• Loading areas
• Restricted zones
• Large workforces

Security staffing can be adjusted to the size and layout of the facility.
