NOT ALWAYS.
ABOUT THIS PROGRAM
Roughly three-quarters of domestic violence victims are employed outside the home, but the abuse they experience doesnโt always stay in the house when they leave for work.
This program examines the impact of domestic violence on employee victims and their co-workers and the employment laws that support them, as well as the variety of ways an employer can help.
Participants will learn about the sabotage and โspilloverโ tactics of abusers, review provisions that protect a victimโs job and confidentiality, and discover an assortment of safety strategies that can save the lives of abused employees and their co-workers.
WHO SHOULD WATCH
This Lunch-N-Learn is valuable toย Employees, Employers, Human Resources and Management Professionals, Domestic Violence Victim Advocates,ย andย Domestic Violence Victims/Survivors
