Zembla is a Dutch television documentary programme by VARA and NPS. The documentaries are based on in-depth research which can take months. The subjects are often controversial. A documentary in 2001 about fraud in the Dutch construction sector led to parliamentary inquiries. In May 2006 the programme exposed the fact that politician Ayaan Hirsi Ali had lied in her claim for asylum, which led to her resignation from parliament.

Overview

Healthcare workers, conductors, and customer service representatives: they all face intimidation, aggression, and violence on a daily basis. As a result, frontline workers are threatening to quit. For over fifteen years, politicians have been calling for "Hands off our healthcare workers." Perpetrators were supposed to be punished more severely and cases prioritized. Yet, aggression rates are historically high. At the Dutch Railways (NS), Rijnstate Hospital, and housing association Woonstad, the limit has been reached: violence there is now reaching disruptive levels. What impact is this aggression having? And how are employees and organizations coping with increasingly serious incidents?
