Would You Know How To Spot A Domestic Violence Victim In Your Workforce?
There are several issues related to domesticviolence that could severely impact your business if you have a victim at work.
Our upcoming webinar focuses on how to identify the signs of domestic violence
at workplace and what policies to introduce to protect the victim and other
employees.
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.
