WHW developed the WorkStrong™ certification program to empower companies, the workforce, and survivors to address workplace issues surrounding gender-based violence – a common, complex, and consequential public health epidemic that encompasses intimate-partner violence, sexual assault, stalking, and sexual harassment. WorkStrong™ is a measurable approach that increases corporate social responsibility and the company’s bottom line while decreasing employee turnover and lost productivity.
It is Your Business
At least 60% of intimate-partner violence survivors will lose their job. Over half of all full-time working adults will work alongside someone experiencing intimate-partner violence. Intimate-partner violence costs businesses $8.3 billion a year in health and lost productivity.
Develop and Empower
The WorkStrong package includes In-Person Training sessions on workplace indicators of gender-based violence, bystander intervention techniques, supportive response, and resources available in and outside the office.
