Every business is at risk...it's your company problem too:
-According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, companies lose $8.3 billion a year in liability and healthcare costs, lost productivity and absenteeism related to intimate partner domestic violence.
-Domestic violence is one of the top three causes of death for women at work, far exceeding accidents, and its occurence is on the rise. -Tim Dimoff President, Sacs Consulting
-Women lose 8 million paid workdays, the equivalent of 32,000 full-time jobs, as a result of domestic violence. Companies forfeit $900 million a year in lost productivity. - U.S. Dept. Of Health and Human Services
-71% of human resource managers on one survey have reported a domestic violence incident at work.
-94% of corporate security directors say domestic violence is a serious problem on the job site. -Corporate Alliance To End Partner Violence
Help be part of the solution, not the problem. Support women trying to make it on their own, not fire them. They need jobs so they can be able to support themselves and their children away from the abuse.
