Domestic Violence in the Workplace

Domestic Violence is everybody's business.

Domestic violence has profound implications for the workplace, extending far beyond the confines of home. Victims often experience decreased productivity, absenteeism, and increased turnover due to physical injuries, emotional distress, and legal obligations. The pervasive fear of being tracked or harassed by abusers can compromise workplace safety and confidentiality. Co-workers may also be affected by witnessing or hearing about the abuse, leading to reduced morale and heightened stress levels. Employers face challenges in managing these impacts while navigating legal responsibilities and supporting affected employees through policies that offer protection, flexibility, and resources. Ultimately, addressing domestic violence in the workplace is crucial not only for employee well-being but also for maintaining a supportive and productive work environment.

Let's come together to understand how domestic violence impacts our colleagues, our companies, and what we can do to support survivors and foster a safer, more compassionate environment for everyone.
