When you hear the words “domestic violence,” do you automatically think it’s a personal problem at home, and therefore not related to their job or the Company? Or Human Resources? Do you question how you could help an employee who is experiencing abuse from their partner, without becoming personally involved? With reports that 64% of domestic violence (DV) victims are impacted in their ability to work and 21-60% of victims lose their jobs due to reasons stemming from the abuse, now is the time to take action in creating a place of safety and support for your personnel. Join us for a discussion on what DV is and how to spot the red flags. We’ll explore the myths and the prevalence of DV, including financial abuse. And you’ll walk away with several tangible strategies to implement at work. 

Learning Objectives:

• Identify and understand domestic violence, including financial abuse, and its effects. 

• Examine & update company policies to better support employees who experience domestic violence. 

• Create a safe space for employees to be successful in the workplace.
