OVERVIEW
Many human resources professionals have had basic training on how domestic violence impacts the workplace, but most do not realize the depth of the problem nor the most effective ways to deal with it. This training covers 10 specific points about employee victims and perpetrators, violence risk, victim perspective, best practice interventions, and the financial damage associated with domestic violence.
WHY SHOULD YOU ATTEND
Human resources professionals are often charged with handling employee related domestic violence cases, which can be both challenging and dangerous. This training seeks to educate and prepare HR staff to assess and handle domestic violence cases by sharing crucial information on where victims are coming from, what they’re really facing, and how employers can sensitively and effectively support them, in order to keep the entire workplace safer overall. 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 both show up to their jobs, the abuse and harassment often follow, emerging as domestic violence “spillover” in the workplace.
