Domestic violence is a widespread problem, with 1 in 4 women & 1 in 9 men being victims of sexual violence or physical violence according to federal statistics. Although domestic violence usually occurs outside the workplace, it can impact the workplace, leading to reduced productivity & morale, increased employee turnover, strained relationships, poor job performance, rising healthcare costs & attendance issues. Employers should take steps to minimize the risk of liability & keep the workplace safe.
