Your employer feels the effects of domestic violence too! More health care claims mean that health coverage costs will go up. This causes YOUR premiums to go up; YOUR managers are stressed because of low productivity, absenteeism or just not knowing how to deal with situations that involve domestic violence. This causes them to expect more of you, give you more work and expect you to work longer hours! Most importantly, due to low productivity, company profits could be down and your employer finds themselves having to make cuts which means you and others could lose your job, or that promotion and raise you’ve been working so hard for is nothing more than a dream!
You would think with all those facts that companies are doing the best they can to minimize the effects of domestic violence in the workplace, right? Wrong! Only 13% of US employers believe that they should do ANYTHING to address domestic violence awareness in the workplace! That’s less than 2 in every 100, and there are more than 7.1 million private industry business establishments in the U.S. alone!
