How can we help?
Collaborate
Engaging all workplace stakeholders and outside partners is key to ensuring the safety of workers and supporting employees that may be experiencing gender-based violence and harassment at work or at home.
Prevent
Employee and supervisor training programs, awareness raising activities, workplace violence policies—these are just some of the tools workplace stakeholders can utilize to implement proactive, multi-stakeholder programs that not only respond to the impacts of violence in the workplace but work toward preventing it in the first place.
Respond
Resilient workplace communities can both recover from incidents of violence when they occur, as well as support workers who experience gender-based violence and harassment at home or on the job.
