SUMMARY:Edmonton Business Association Breakfast: Domestic Violence and Your Workplace

ACWS has worked with Alberta employers for over a decade to help them meet legislative requirements to address domestic violence as a workplace hazard and reduce risks for employees and the organization. The program supports a holistic response to domestic violence\, including policy consultation\, facilitated sessions\, and in-depth training for selected staff. Rooted in leading-edge research and Alberta employers’ experiences\, Domestic Violence and Your Workplace explores how workplaces can foster safer spaces for employees experiencing violence. \nLearn about the program and how to access ACWS expertise to enhance your employees’ safety at work. \nBuy Tickets
