Help reduce the financial and human cost of domestic violence by raising awareness and taking action to address the impact of domestic violenece in your work place.
Why should employers take action
With 1 in 4 women and 1 in 6 men affected by domestic violence during their adult lives, every work place up and down the country is touched by this issue. Employers have grown to care about it because domestic violence costs UK businesses in excess of £1.9 billion each year – think of staff absences from survivors being ill, injured or struggling; think about lost productivity. Employers also have a responsibility to support and protect their employees.
