Episode Description
In recent months, challenges regarding domestic violence and organizations’ responsibility to expect and support ethical behavior of their employees has made its way into the media and policy platforms. Additionally, the potential danger associated with escalated spousal/family disputes that can find themselves spilling over into incidents of violence in the workplace has made it clear that turning a blind eye to this concern can lead to unexpected volatile and hazardous situations. What is a leader’s role and what are their responsibilities related to the issue of domestic violence? What is the point of difference that employers can and increasingly are being expected to play in this field that historically has been largely viewed as a social taboo limited to one’s personal life and not the business of employers?
