Advocate ~ Author ~ Survivor

You cannot claim to have an inclusive workplace culture without addressing the issue of domestic violence.

Domestic violence affects your workforce more than you think—not just victims but those who support them. With expert-led training, your organization can empower all employees to recognize abuse, offer support, and create a culture of safety and inclusivity.

Empower Your Workforce. Transform Your Workplace Culture.
Create Safety. Foster Inclusivity. Protect Your Bottom Line.

Why Domestic Violence Awareness Matters:

Imagine this: 50 of your employees are affected by domestic violence—not just as victims, but as those supporting a sister, friend, or colleague enduring abuse. These challenges don’t stay at home; they affect mental health, productivity, and ultimately, your company’s success.

  • 33% of women, 25% of men, and 50% of LGBTQI+ employees report domestic violence experiences.

  • 1-3% of your bottom line could be lost due to decreased productivity, increased absenteeism, and higher health insurance costs.

  • 40-70% of affected employees report being stalked or harassed at work, creating a dangerous environment for everyone.

Domestic Violence Isn’t Just a Personal Issue—It’s a Corporate One.

Is your company prepared to address these critical issues?

THE COST OF INACTION

What’s the Risk of Not Addressing Domestic Violence in Your Workplace?

Every day you delay implementing domestic violence awareness training, your company risks:

  • Loss of top talent who feel unsupported and unsafe

  • Rising healthcare costs due to the physical and mental toll on your workforce
  • A damaged reputation as a company that fails to protect its people

The choice is clear: Act now or risk the consequences.
