Domestic abuse can have a lasting impact on every part of someone’s life, including their experience at work. So, how can organisations create workplaces where survivors feel understood, supported and able to access the right help?
For many people affected by domestic abuse, work can be an important source of stability, independence and connection. But the effects of abuse and trauma do not simply stop at the workplace door. Managing workloads, returning to work after time away, speaking to a manager or knowing where to turn for support can all feel difficult.
Taking place during the UN’s 16 Days of Activism Against Gender-Based Violence, this webinar will explore the role employers, leaders and colleagues can play in creating a more informed and supportive workplace for people affected by domestic abuse.
Hosted by Clare Keniry, the discussion will look at how organisations can recognise when someone may need support, respond sensitively and make sure employees know where they can access specialist help.
The discussion will explore:
- Recognising domestic abuse and responding with care
- Supporting survivors back into the workplace
- Raising awareness across your organisation
- Signposting people to specialist support with confidence
- Managing work alongside the effects of trauma
