Join us on Thursday, July 4th2024, 11am for a forum that will discuss: 'Understanding Domestic Abuse as a Concern for Employers.' 1 in 5 adults experience domestic abuse during their lifetime, this equates to 1 in 4 women, and 1 in 6 men. For many experiencing domestic abuse, the workplace can be one of their only safe places. Apart from the huge driver of the social good employers can achieve by offering support, there are all the same arguments for engagement and talent retention that attach to any other wellbeing issue at work. Employers are stepping up to introduce specific policies and practice to safeguard and support their staff. But are employers moving fast enough?Join our expert panel: 📢 Helen Lamprell OBE, Chief Legal and Transformation Officer, AVEVA📢 Louise Acunzo, Service Manager, Solace Women's Aid📢 Carolanne Minashi, Global Head of Inclusion, HSBC📢 Emily Harris, Social Impact Manager, Bright Horizons Foundation for Children UKFacilitated by Jennifer Liston-Smith, Head of Thought Leadership, Bright Horizons UK👉 Register here: https://lnkd.in/dHnNdXtA#BrightHorizonsUK #DomesticAbuse #HRCommunity #EmployerOfChoice

It's encouraging to see the topic of how to build resilience and emotional intelligence in the early years is something being spoken about more readily within our network. 🙌Our Nurture Approach does exactly this.
