Domestic Abuse can manifest at work as absenteeism, tardiness or lack of effective working practice, all of which has an impact on your businesses productivity as well as the workforce themselves, however, with the information offered through this conference you can at no cost to your business, improve not only the wellbeing of your workforce, but the productivity of your business.

This has included face to face training for our HR and learning and development advisors, who cascade this training across our business, as well as collaboration on an e-learning module, which has been shared with all colleagues too.”
