Abstract

Community violence that spills over to the workplace is substantially impacting the quality of work/life in South Africa. Gold mining is one of the country’s leading industries and also one of the most dangerous. Internal and external employee assistance programs are well represented in South Africa and are helping employees deal with the economic and psychological fall-out of community violence and work related accidents.
