It is Domestic Violence Awareness Month. Domestic violence affects people across all demographics, and the workplace is no exception, as we uncover how leaders can recognize and address signs of abuse among their employees.
We navigate the intricate dynamics of domestic violence, focusing on the subtle signs that may manifest in the workplace. Changes in employee behavior, communication, or performance can often be indicators that something is wrong. The discussion is framed around the ACTS framework—ask, confidentiality, trust, and support—to create a compassionate and supportive work environment. Let this episode serve as a call to action for leaders to foster safer workplaces and contribute to a more understanding world.
