Businesses & Domestic Violence

Should companies be concerned about domestic violence? What role can businesses play in addressing or responding to domestic violence? Can they play a role in violence prevention? To help us answer these questions is our new colleague Gabby Fuentes, the Public Policy Coordinator-Housing at TCFV. Please note this episode carries a trigger warning for domestic violence. In this episode, we discuss domestic violence in the workplace, the responsibility of businesses to victims and the community, and how organizations can help be the solution, with a particular focus on corporate organizations. We discuss why companies should care about domestic violence, appropriate company policies on domestic violence, and how to create a foundation of safety. We also delve into the internal and external mechanisms available to companies regarding domestic violence, the responsibility of organizations to hold perpetrators of violence accountable, the unintended consequences of zero-tolerance policies, and the financial cost for organizations. We explore why there should be more public awareness, reasons companies avoid the issue, and what the domestic violence movement can learn from other social campaigns. Join us as we unpack how companies can help innovate, mobilize, engage, and help create safer communities with Samantha, William, and Gabby!
