Is it time to get rid of the Zero Tolerance Policy? By Robert D. Sollars
THE
HOMICIDE REPORT
A debate has been slowly gaining ground in the past couple of years. Some professionals want to get rid of the zero tolerance policies that came into popularity after the columbine massacre of 1999. It gained momentum and expanded from our schools and into the corporate world.

From human resources, legal, security, supervisory/m anagem ent, and the c-suite we all thought this type of policy was a great idea and another weapon in the arsenal of prevention. Unfortunately, I think its time for these policies to end.
The only thing that zero tolerance does is give the company a false sense of security and, a supposed, shield of invincibility against lawsuits. The other aspect is that it can actually instigate a more violent incident than it attempted to prevent.
The bottom line is that Zero tolerance policies simply don‘t work!
