Partner violence can have significant effects on employers, often going unnoticed. Workers experiencing partner violence at home may become distracted, anxious, and concerned for their safety while at work.
Furthermore, individuals who engage in partner violence are also present in the workforce, often taking time off from their duties to harass their partners and misusing company resources for stalking and intimidation.
To improve workplace safety and enhance worker well-being and productivity, employers should implement proactive strategies to address partner violence.
