Stop Sweeping It Under The Carpet.

2022 is just around the corner and we are coming to you with something new. Although we will still be addressing domestic abuse issues, it will be in the context of the workplace. During my conversations with survivors, one of the concerns mentioned is, "are employers doing enough?" "Employers could do more." Stop Sweeping It Under The Carpet will also be discussing pertinent issues that employers need to address in the workplace in order to improve mental health and well-being. In 2022 its time to bring these conversations to the forefront.

We know globally Domestic Abuse is an epidemic within a pandemic and everyone needs to play there part. Starting in January 2022 l will be coming to you with tips and strategies for Employers. Yes... Employers. This is under the topic of When Domestic Abuse Comes to Work. I'll also be bringing to you if you're a team member is your employer doing enough in your organisation to support its teams or do employers need training themselves to become a more empathetic leader?

My guest Helen shares her experiences and thoughts on what employers can put into place in order to be a more supportive, empathetic and inclusive organisation.
