Domestic Violence in the Workplace
Workplace violence is increasing throughout America, threatening individual employees and workplace security. Many cases go unreported due to fear of the perpetrator, minimizing the incident or lack of clear company policy. Inaction likely will lead to further and increased violence and possible liability for the employer. Murder is the second most frequent cause of death in the workplace and the first among female employees.
Domestic violence is the physical, sexual or psychological abuse of a partner. Victims and batterers are of all races, ages, educational backgrounds, and income groups. Both victims and perpetrators are employed with your company. There are thousands and thousands of incidents of on-the-job violence each year, and most victims know their victims intimately.
