Why Should you Attend

An employee facing DV does not just drop the problem at the time clock, rather it permeates and affects every area of the employee's life. That includes their work, productivity and interactions with co-workers. Domestic violence can also spill over into the workplace as a safety issue because the workplace is the best place for their abuser to depend upon finding and contacting the employee. According to the DOL, it's estimated that up to 75% of DV victims experience harassment at work. The employer costs don't stop there as the CDC found on average, a domestic violence victim incurs $1,775 more in annual medical costs than an individual who is not a DV victim. As a result, employers often pay for the medical consequences of domestic violence.

DV have to work somewhere and an employer may find they are employing DV abusers too. Abusers are employee that don't drop their abusing ways at the time clock either. Although abusers are often quite charming and very skillful at hiding their real self, eventually an abuser's conduct is guaranteed to spill over into the workplace and influence their interactions with their coworkers in many negative ways. Such an abuser often spends part of their workday abusing their victim and often uses an employer's network, phones or other equipment to do so.
