Overview
Domestic violence, sexual assault and stalking affect the workplace more than most employers realize, driving absenteeism, turnover, higher health costs and lost productivity. Laws now protect employees affected by domestic violence, including leave rights and notice requirements for employers.
This 110-minute webinar on domestic violence leave compliance defines domestic violence, sexual assault and stalking in the workplace, reviews statistics and the impact on different industries, and explains employer obligations when these issues come up.
The presenter brings a background in sexual assault prevention and court-based victim advocacy. You'll learn to recognize warning signs, how courts encourage non-judgmental disclosure, how to build a checklist for leave and notification, and how to plan for volatile situations to reduce risk.
Why attend: Many companies have been charged with violations after learning of these incidents and doing nothing. Few HR professionals are trained to handle such cases or consider domestic violence when reviewing decisions such as terminations. This session gives leaders, managers, supervisors, HR and compliance professionals and business owners guidance on workplace domestic violence, partnering with the Employee Assistance Program, and complying with leave and notice rules.
