What You Can Do

Domestic violence may occur at home, but it affects every business and public sector organization with increased healthcare costs, absenteeism, turnover and stress in the workplace. Companies need policies, procedures and benefit programs to address the issue.

If you are a manager, you need to understand how to respond to threats of violence, how abuse affects employee behavior and how to act appropriately to support victims.

If you are a coworker, you may be the first to recognize someone who is being abused and you need to know how to act appropriately when domestic violence comes to work.
