WHY
SHOULD YOU ATTEND
Statistically speaking, every large company
has domestic violence in their midst, whether they realize it or not. More than
half of women (and many men) have experienced physical, sexual, or severe
emotional abuse during their lifetime and most of these victims are employed,
as are their abusers.
When these employees show up to their jobs,
the domestic violence frequently follows, causing a multitude of problems in
the workplace. These issues range from repetitive phone calls on the mild end,
to mass shootings on the extreme. Of course, violent incidents are a primary
concern, but the impact of domestic violence in the workplace reaches far
beyond human safety alone.
Abused employees have higher absenteeism and
lower productivity rates than non-abused employees. They also have over 40%
higher health care costs and a greater chance of leaving the company or being
fired because of what they are experiencing at home and at work. Their abusers
create a significant liability risk for employers facing everything from OSHA
violations to multi-million dollar post-incident lawsuits. If employee victims
aren’t coming forward and management isn’t responding correctly, then the
company is “flying blind”, unable to see the dangers before them.
Employers should attend this webinar because
while it is within their power to address and defeat the insidious enemy of
domestic violence, they can’t do it without understanding the nature of their
opponent and knowing exactly what tools to use in the battle against it.
AREAS
COVERED
Myths and facts about domestic violence arediscussed during employee awareness training and participants will learn about

violence policy impacts the workplace. Featured areas include employee
disclosure rates, abuser tactics, and the effects of “spill over” on victims,
co-workers, and the company itself.

accommodations will be shared to inspire ideas on how companies can help to
support working victims and increase the safety of their entire workplace
overall.
