"Run or hide could be like deescalation."
Deescalation?
I'm not fully understanding, but if you mean fewer targets because people simply aren't seen or there to be shot, I guess I understand what you mean, but find the word more appropriate when I'm the actor in a potential altercation I can halt by being mature, if you will...
When a crazed gun man is mowing down innocent people, somehow the word "deescalation" doesn't come to mind.
Fighting back/Self Defense are words that come to mind and I'm not going to concern myself with "deescalation" when a mad man is on the loose...

Re: Workplace Violence Policy
Why do I find the mantra of run/hide/fight questionable?
To me it sounds hollow.
My mantra would be: Find cover and shoot back.
Corporations especially are loath to allow employees personal guns to protect themselves.
They'd rather a flock of unarmed sheep if a killer of innocents shows up.
Better to let a killer do his thing than face a potential lawsuit because the employees were armed and defended themselves...though I don't know why lawsuits of the unarmed/unprotected killed/wounded family members won't occur...
