Supporting Employees with Additional Services
Supporting employees with additional services during domestic violence leave plays a critical role in their recovery and wellbeing. Beyond the 10 days of paid leave, thoughtful support can help reduce trauma and improve outcomes. Quite simply, leave alone is not enough—not if the goal is to help employees move toward safety and healing.
Organisations that go further offer counselling, safety planning, legal referrals, and peer support. These services signal understanding and respect. They also allow employees to take time off without feeling completely isolated.
When employees take domestic violence leave, providing additional support services can help them navigate this challenging time. Services like counselling, legal support, and flexible work options offer practical assistance and show organisational commitment to employee wellbeing. By offering these services, businesses create a supportive workplace environment that prioritises safety and recovery.
Family Violence Mindset Solutions offers resources to help organisations identify and implement valuable support services for employees facing domestic violence.
