When workers experience domestic violence (DV) at home, impacts are felt in the workplace; however, little research is available on this topic.
We conducted an online survey regarding the impacts of DV at work.
A total of 8429 people completed the survey. More than a third of respondents reported experiencing DV; among them, more than a third reported that DV affected their ability to get to work, and more than half reported that it continued at or near work. Most reported that DV negatively affected their performance. Almost all respondents, regardless of DV experience, believed that it impacts victims' work lives.
This research identifies the scope and impact of DV on workers and workplaces. The data should assist governments, unions, and employers to enact and evaluate proactive practices to address the impact of DV in the workplace.
当员工在家遭受家庭暴力时,工作场所也会受到影响;然而,关于这一主题的研究很少。
我们针对家庭暴力对工作的影响开展了一项在线调查。
共有8429人完成了调查。超过三分之一的受访者表示遭受过家庭暴力;其中,超过三分之一的人报告称家庭暴力影响了他们上班的能力,超过一半的人报告称家庭暴力在工作地点或附近仍在继续。大多数人报告称家庭暴力对他们的工作表现产生了负面影响。几乎所有受访者,无论是否有家庭暴力经历,都认为这会影响受害者的工作生活。
本研究确定了家庭暴力对员工和工作场所的范围及影响。这些数据应有助于政府、工会和雇主制定和评估积极措施,以应对家庭暴力对工作场所的影响。
