developed at social functions is considered "good" for the
career--and often, absence from such functions, or abstinence
from drinking, entails career advancement risks.

suggestions for drinking safely and healthfully while still

Protecting Employees from
Domestic Violence
As an employer, you probably can’t identify
the victims or perpetrators of domestic violence (DV) who
are working for you. But they have an enormous effect on
your bottom line: domestic violence
costs employers $3-$5 billion/year in lost productivity,
absenteeism, and healthcare. How can you protect the abused
employee, and her colleagues who may also be at risk from
an abuser’s attacks? What are your legal responsibilities?
And, perhaps most importantly, what do you say to someone
who tells you she is being abused?
This white paper describes a "best practices"
model for protecting employees from all forms of workplace
violence. We also present a guide for discussing DV with
a victim.
