With nearly one in three women reporting abuse at some time in their lives, domestic violence is likely to affect almost every workplace.

Domestic violence is not an issue that stays at home.

Silence Doesn't Work Here is a program aimed at employers and human resources professionals that is dedicated to building awareness about domestic violence and its impacts on the workplace. This program will provide human resources professionals with tools to recognize warning signs of abuse, create a safe work environment, support employees in violent relationships and how to safely refer employees to resources.

For many companies, employees are a key resource and success of the organization depends upon an employee's success on the job. Things affecting employees affect the employer as well. Studies prove that employers who address domestic violence can provide real help to victims and reduce the risks associated with an abuser bringing the violence to work.

WEAVE is helping employers learn about domestic violence and its effect on the workplace through the Silence Doesn't Work Here campaign. This program includes training, technical support and a resource kit developed for employers and human resources professionals. Silence Doesn't Work Here is committed to building awareness, providing guidelines and ensuring adequate resources to address the domestic violence in employees' lives.
