Robberies and Assaults Committed Against
Employees
Robberies and assaults committed against employees can have
considerable emotional, physical and financial consequences for
employees. These attacks also impact employers through reduced
productivity, employee absenteeism, retention problems, and in some
cases legal action against employers. They are therefore, a
considerable problem for public transport.
