Here are some guidelines that might help making the work place safer for female agents (my company actually just introduced them after the tragic event in Arkansas):
1. First time clients are required to send in a copy of their driver’s license and full contact details
2. Using our technologically advanced software, agents have to enter all showings and meetings with clients in the Blast Scheduler visible to all other agents and the management
3. Agents announce start and end of a showing to management; should management not receive an end call within 1 hour after the start, the system will alert management to contact agent
4. All agents are required to download a quick-dial app with tracking service on their phone which allows them to call management with one single touch of a button; they are asked to call immediately should they feel unsafe
5. Should an agent have mixed feelings about an upcoming meeting with a client, we request that she asks a colleague to join her
