Webinar - The Impact of Domestic Violence on the Workplace & Your Responsibilities as an Employer

Are you an employer, business manager, HR manager or supervisor? Then this workshop is FOR YOU! Do you think of domestic violence as a workplace issue? If not, think again! Domestic or intimate partner violence costs employers roughly $890 MILLION per year in Canada ($20 million in New Brunswick). To add to that, 1 in 3 workers have experienced domestic violence, and more than 80% of them say their work performance was negatively affected.

Join us on November 5, 2020 from 10-11 am to hear Silke Brabander, Chair of the New Brunswick Domestic/Intimate Partner Violence (DIPV) in the Workplace Committee, provide an introduction to a newly available workplace toolkit.  She will give an overview of the impacts of DIPV, of employer requirements and legal obligations, as well as information on how workplaces can obtain more in-depth training.
