Working with Employed Domestic Violence Victims: Recognize, Respond, and Refer
OVERVIEW
Would you know how to spot a domestic violence victim in yourworkforce? Would you know what to say or where to send them once they were
identified? This training will arm professionals in management, HR, and
security with the tools to recognize employee victims, respond in a sensitive,
effective way, and refer them to resources that can make a real difference in
the safety of the entire workplace.
This domestic violence training introduces participants to the
topic of domestic violence and how it impacts the workplace, before explaining
in depth the concept of the “3 R’s”: Recognize, Respond, and Refer. Attendees
will learn how “spillover” affects the victim’s performance and safety as well
as that of their co-workers. They will examine how a business overall is
damaged by domestic violence, even if employers never know its happening. The
training focus will be divided into three central parts: 1) Signs of domestic
violence victims and abusers 2) Best practices for effective, sensitive
intervention (including sample scripts) and 3) Guidelines for appropriate
referrals and follow-up, both internal and external. Included will be national
organization contacts for helping victims outside of work, as well as resources
for employers wishing to address the issue further.

WHY SHOULD YOU ATTEND
Corporate threat managers, security, and human resources
personnel are all responsible for helping to maintain safety in the workplace.
But, if you don’t know what threats are lurking below the surface, or don’t
understand the nature of the ones you can see; your company may suffer
immeasurable human and financial losses. Domestic violence is an insidious
enemy to the American workplace: Over 60% of women and many men have been
physically, sexually, or severely emotionally abused by an intimate partner,
and three quarters of those victims are employed. The violence and harassment
that often follows them to work can pose significant danger to staff and
customers, while invisibly stealing billions of dollars per year in
absenteeism, lost productivity, higher health care costs, increased liability,
and reduced employee retention. When a private employer neglects to educate its
workforce, fails to establish a culture of trust and disclosure among
employees, and remains ignorant to the true reality that victims face, then
they are “flying blind” with no way to see the potential risks ahead of them.
If an employee involved case “collapses” and tragedy strikes, companies (as
well as the communities in and around them) may take years to financially and
emotionally recover from the damage. Domestic violence in the workplace can be
a complex, high stakes problem, but it isn’t one without solutions. Don’t miss
your team’s opportunity to learn how to face employee involved cases with
confidence and security.
