HR Insights, The employer's role in tackling domestic abuse - 8th June 2021
Wednesday Jun 09, 2021
Wednesday Jun 09, 2021
Domestic Abuse is something all employers need to be aware of and understand their role in tackling.
A bill is currently going through Parliament to ensure there is a statutory definition everyone can work to.
It’s on employers minds as we all became aware in lockdown that for some, home was not a safe space.
In this episode, Anna Denton-Jones discusses what it is, what to look out for, how it can affect the workforce and the measures employers might take.
Useful links discussed in the episode:
