Created in September 1998, the office of Workplace Environment Improvement (WEI) is committed to improving the work environment and bringing focus to “people issues.” It performs violence prevention activities, identifies and measures trends of concern, and implements initiatives to improve the workplace environment. WEI assists field offices by ensuring that local Threat Assessment Teams are trained and in place. These teams respond to potential and actual threat situations to bring swift resolution and ensure employee safety.
The Workplace Environment Advisory Committee, composed of representatives of Human Resources, unions, and management associations, works closely with WEI and the Postal Inspection Service. Using a standard protocol, the committee identifies and addresses undesirable behavior that results from individual or systemic problems.
This year, Workplace Violence Awareness training was updated and made available online. Publication 45, Achieving a Violence-Free Workplace Together, also was updated.
