Domestic Violence and Work Environment

Domestic abuse is not a crime that can  be ignored by the victim’s employer. Employers must recognize that personal, real-life problems affect job performance and job performance affects the bottom line. Nearly 1/3 of women in this country claim to have been the victims of physical or sexual abuse.
