Family Violence Impacts at Work: What Businesses Need to Do

Family and domestic violence is a critical workplace health and safety issue that affects workplaces every day through impacts on employee safety, productivity, attendance, morale, and overall organizational well-being.

Under Alberta's Occupational Health and Safety Act, employers have a legal responsibility to address domestic violence when it may pose a risk in the workplace. Yet many businesses are uncertain about what compliance requires or how to respond effectively.
