After reviewing the timeline, the CEO asks Betty what their organization can do to prevent such tragedies. After a brief conversation, the CEO mentions that the organization will be laying-off 10 employees in the next two weeks. The CEO asked her to think of some safety measures to be considered at their upcoming meeting with the entire management team. Later that day, she receives an email from the CEO asking if it would be a good idea to bring his personal gun to work (for protection) and have it locked up in a safe. She is troubled and calls her friend who is a “Senior Professional in Human Resources (SPHR)” to help analyze this situation. Case Study Questions What questions would her SPHR friend ask Betty Smith? Do you think it is a good idea for the CEO to bring a gun to work? Justify your response. Consider the Second Amendment. Should there be covert “armed” employees at each organization that are carefully selected (after a thorough background check) by HR managers ? Explain why or why not. What are some issues with the traditional way of having an unarmed security guard sitting at the front desk? What rules and regulations must be taken into consideration when making the decision? Interesting enough, Indiana is one of 13 states that signed into law a measure that bans employers from telling workers that they can’t have guns in their cars. Should all states consider such laws? Justify your response. Case Assignment Drawing on the material in the background readings and doing additional research, please prepare a 3- to 5-page paper (not including the cover and reference pages) in which you: Address the five questions relating to the case study. It imperative that you use your critical thinking skills when addressing each question.

Critical thinking: Is the subject thought about critically (i.e., accurately, logically, relevantly, and precisely)? Workplace Violence After reviewing the Module 4 Case Study and your assignment, suppose that Betty Smith went home that evening and created a PowerPoint presentation delineating her proposed solution to this dilemma that is full of stats, research, and examples that she will share with her colleagues at the upcoming meeting. Please create the PowerPoint presentation on her behalf.
