The problems of dating violence, domestic violence, sexual assault, and stalking do not only affect homes; they can also affect the workplace. An employee may be harassed at work by phone calls or e-mails, or their attendance and performance may suffer in various ways as a byproduct of what they are experiencing. Coworkers and supervisors need to be prepared to respond sensitively and appropriately. This course explains what domestic violence is and how to recognize when someone at work may be experiencing it. It then offers guidance on how to respond in ways that align with federal agency policies to support victims of domestic violence.
