Business Controls Responds to Workplace Violence Incident in Bethesda, MD


(Greenwood Village, Colorado) March 23, 2011 -- Business Controls, Inc. (BCI), the country’s leading anonymous reporting solutions and investigations firm, is responding today to the terrible incident of workplace violence that occurred on March 11 at a retail store in Bethesda, MD.

Brittany Norwood, an employee at the Lululemon Athletica shop in Bethesda, was confronted by a co-worker about stolen merchandise in her bag. Norwood reacted by beating the co-worker to death and then trying to cover up the crime with an elaborate deception.

This incident highlights two issues that organizations are facing more and more in America: fraud and workplace violence. “The typical organization loses 5% of its annual revenue to fraud,” says Teresa Foster, Chief Financial Officer of BCI. “The most common fraud is asset misappropriation, including inventory theft.”

“The key to reducing incidents of fraud and workplace violence in your organization is to not only put mechanisms in place to discover wrongdoing, but to recognize key risk factors that every perpetrator exhibits and then act accordingly,” says Ricky Bennett, Vice President of Professional Services. “Part of our expertise in this area is to partner with an organization and help identify the risk factors that are common to incidents of fraud, as well as those risk factors exhibited by an employee prior to the commission of a workplace violence incident. If we can partner early enough, we can help reduce further occurrences of fraud or hopefully avoid an incident of workplace violence altogether.”

Based on BCI’s investigation experience, the three most common risk factors in fraud cases are:

1. Incentive or pressure to commit fraud
2. Opportunity to commit fraud
3. An attitude or rationalization for committing fraud, such as “I work so hard for this company, I deserve this.”

Because over 40% of occupational fraud is detected through anonymous tips, BCI recommends implementing an anonymous hotline for employees to report any fraudulent activity. MySafeWorkplace® is BCI’s web-based case management and anonymous reporting solution designed to help organizations discover such workplace misconduct, including incidents that could potentially lead to workplace violence. Once an issue has been discovered, organizations can use this tool to complete a thorough and effective investigation of the matter, tracking and cataloging every activity. Upon successful completion of the investigation, organizations can view analytical reports designed to provide trending data and historical information that can ultimately drive good business ethics and positive change.

According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, workplace violence accounted for 18% of all workplace fatalities in 2009. Some risk factors common to workplace violence offenders include a history of violence that may be expressed through aggressive language, hitting or throwing objects, or minor vandalism. Another factor is poor impulse control which may also impact an employee’s ability to perform well at work, including increased attendance issues.

“Discovering an issue before it escalates into an incident of workplace violence, similar to what we saw in Bethesda, is critical to keeping an organization safe,” says Ricky Bennett. “Once you identify the indicators, it is much easier for corporate investigators, such as we employ, to perform a proper investigation, allowing managers to reach a reasonable conclusion so that the organization can take appropriate action to mitigate the problem and avoid costly litigation; or, in the case of Bethesda, a horrific incident of workplace violence.”

About Business Controls, Inc.
Business Controls, Inc. is the country’s leading incident reporting and risk mitigation firm. Its services include incident reporting, corporate investigations, litigation support, and training. Business Controls serves over a million client employees in over 22,000 client locations in over 130 countries via its award-winning and patent-pending anonymous reporting systems.

Consumer demand for Botox and other minimally invasive cosmetic procedures is at an all time high. The IAPAM offers the industry's best physician-lead Aesthetic Medicine with Botox Training programs. Today the IAPAM launched a blog showcasing physician reviews on all its training, from the IAPAM's botox training to its hCG training.

Las Vegas, NV, March 23, 2011 -- Physicians who have attended the Aesthetic Medicine Symposium with botox training testify its comprehensiveness. Today, the IAPAM announces the launch of a blog showcasing the reviews from physicians who have attended the IAPAM's Aesthetic Medicine Symposium (http://www.aestheticmedicinesymposium.com) with Botox Training, the IAPAM Advanced Botox/Filler Training, Aesthetic/Cosmetic Laser Training (http://www.aestheticmedicinesymposium.com/laser-training) and the IAPAM hCG Training (http://www.aestheticmedicinesymposium.com/physician-hcg-weight-loss-training).

The IAPAM's Aesthetic Medicine Symposium with Botox Training leads other training programs because it was designed by physicians for physicians, offers one year of practice support to all attendees, and has integrated the most important clinical and business aesthetic medicine training into one weekend, including:

- dedicated instruction from two board-certified dermatologists, who are true experts of the skin and cosmetic injectables.
- extensive hands-on practice in the best injection techniques on models provided.
- botox training at a multi-million dollar medical practice, not in a hotel room.
- an environment that does not allow exhibitors, giving doctors more time for education.
- a program where all product, physician manuals, patient consent forms, etc. are included.

The IAPAM's Testimonials Blog (http://www.iapam.com/category/testimonials) allows physicians considering botox training, laser training, medical aesthetic training, hcg training and aesthetic practice business training, to read the reviews of other physicians who have taken the IAPAM training programs, and the blog is updated on a regular basis.

To date, over 850 physicians, as well as their accompanying medspa managers, registered nurses, and assistants, have attended the IAPAM's Aesthetic Medicine Symposiums and hCG for Weight Loss Training.

A preview of this training can be viewed on YouTube at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Of-jMxVNLOY.

Danny Boyle’s Frankenstein Is The UK’s Hottest Ticket


SeatChoice.com urges fans to shop around for the best deals on tickets which could cost them up to £600.00 a pair for this ‘sold out’ production.

London, UK - March 23, 2011 -- Danny Boyle’s take on Mary Shelley’s classic gothic horror story Frankenstein is the hottest ticket in town according to leading theatre and gig ticket comparison website SeatChoice.com.

Tickets for the acclaimed production at the Olivier National Theatre on London’s South Bank have been the most searched for of all the 4,500 musicals, plays, operas, ballets and concerts currently listed on the website.

The play, starring Benedict Cumberbatch and Jonny Lee Miller, who alternate in the main roles of Frankenstein and The Creature, opened on the 5th of February 2011 and runs until the 2nd of May 2011.

However, with all performances now officially sold out except for a limited number of ‘day tickets’ which are only available directly from the box office in person on the day of the performance, SeatChoice.com says fans with deep pockets may still be able to find seats by shopping around.

SeatChoice.com founder Robert Iles said: “Ticket reselling sites such as Viagogo and Getmein do have some tickets available but prices are steep with a single ticket costing from £214.00 to £249.00 plus postage and a hefty arrangement or booking fee of around £78.00 on top of that. All in all fans could expect to pay between £500.00 and £600.00 for a pair of tickets.

“This is the hottest ticket in town at the moment beating even The Wizard of Oz in terms of the number of searches being carried out for seats and theatre fans who are desperate to see Frankenstein will have to shop around not only to find available tickets but also to ensure they get the best deal.”

The Top 10 Hottest Tickets in the UK according to SeatChoice.com

1. Frankenstein – Olivier (National Theatre), London
2. The Wizard of Oz – London Palladium
3. The Royal Ballet, Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland – Royal Opera House, London
4. King Lear – Lyric Theatre, Salford
5. Dirty Dancing – Aldwych Theatre, London
6. Madam Butterfly – The Royal Albert Hall, London
7. Swan Lake – Royal Opera House, London
8. The Children’s Hour – The Comedy Theatre, London
9. Two Door Cinema Club – Barrowlands, Glasgow
10. Rihanna – Loud Tour at the O2, London

Tickets for Frankenstein are also appearing on auction sites such as ebay but buyers should be aware of the limited protection they have when buying theatre and concert tickets through unauthorised sellers.
