When Domestic Violence Impacts the Workplace: Ensuring a Safe and Supportive Environment

Domestic violence significantly impacts the workplace. Nearly one in four women and one in nine men experience severe intimate partner physical violence, sexual violence, or stalking – and nearly three-quarters of those victims are harassed by their abuser at work. This leads to lost productivity, declining performance, and increased potential for workplace violence.

This training provides Federal supervisors, managers, and HR professionals with essential tools and knowledge to support employees experiencing domestic violence. We’ll share guidance on implementing supportive leave policies with empathy and compliance while promoting a safe and productive work environment.

Learning objectives

• Recognize potential indicators of domestic violence.
• Foster a workplace culture that ensures employee privacy, safety, and well-being.
• Conduct sensitive conversations in a compassionate, respectful, and non-judgmental manner.
