Overview:
More than 10 million women and men are physically abused in the U.S. during one year and up to 75% of domestic violence victims face harassment from their partners while they are at work.
Abusers have many tactics to gain and maintain power and control over their victim. This webinar will explain these dynamics and how this type of violence can affect the workplace. An abuser may monitor and harass their partner by calling or texting constantly while they are at work, and the pervasive fear takes a psychological toll on victims that interferes with work performance.
Employers have the opportunity to implement policies that protect victims and all other employees through education and support.
Why you should Attend:
Relationship violence often affects the workplace. An estimated 18,700 incidents of workplace violence in the U.S. per year are related to other forms of interpersonal violence.

Recognizing and understanding this type of violence is the first step toward a safer workplace. This webinar will educate employees on the realities of interpersonal violence and provide tools to implement policies that ensure safety and support for all employees.
