HR Thursdays ~ Sexual assault, harassment, stalking, and other traumatic events that impact our workforce
Sexual assault, harassment, stalking, and other traumatic events that impact our workforce
One in five Mainers will experience sexual assault at some point in their lifetime. The potential impact to employers can be significant and may result in lost productivity, absenteeism and increased medical claims when employees do not get the resources they need. This session will provide information about the impact to Mainers and offer tips and resources for employers to help an employee who has experienced or is experiencing gender-based violence.
