Empowering Employers to AddressDomestic Violence in the Workplace

Domestic violence doesn’t stay at home when someone comes to work. It follows survivors through phone calls, threats, lost productivity, and even physical harm in the workplace. As an employer, manager, or HR professional, you may not think of domestic violence as a workplace issue—but it is. The reality is that nearly one in four women and one in ten men experience intimate partner violence in their lifetime, according to the CDC, and the workplace is often one of the few safe havens or sources of support they have.

This toolkit is designed to empower you with knowledge and tools to recognize signs of domestic violence, respond with compassion and confidence, and refer employees to the right resources. When workplaces take a proactive approach, they don’t just protect employees—they create a safer, more supportive, and productive environment for everyone.
