The Impact on Business
Domestic violence doesn't stop at the office door. Employees affected by abuse experience:
- Higher absenteeism and tardiness
- Decreased productivity and focus
- Increased health issues and medical leave
- Higher turnover rates
- Workplace safety concerns
According to CDC research, the cost of intimate partner violence to U.S. businesses is estimated at over $8 billion annually in lost productivity, turnover, and healthcare costs.
The Return on Investment
Organizations with trauma-informed practices experience:
- Improved employee retention and loyalty
- Enhanced employer brand and reputation
- Increased productivity as employees heal
- Reduced liability and legal risks
- Stronger workplace culture and morale
Research consistently shows employees who feel supported and valued are significantly more likely to stay with their organization long-term.
