Webinar Description:
Domestic violence (DV) can affect employees across all industries, and retail staff are particularly vulnerable due to high-pressure environments, female-dominated teams, and irregular work hours. As a retail manager, you are in a unique position to notice early warning signs and provide support before situations escalate.

This webinar is designed specifically for retail managers and team leaders, offering practical guidance on:

• Recognising Early Indicators: Spot the subtle and not-so-subtle signs that an employee may be experiencing domestic violence, such as changes in behaviour, unexplained absences, decreased productivity, heightened anxiety, or reluctance to engage with others.
• Understanding the Impact: Learn how DV can affect workplace performance, team morale, and employee wellbeing.
• Practical Managerial Response: Gain strategies to respond appropriately and compassionately, including having supportive conversations, maintaining confidentiality, and knowing when to escalate concerns.
• Accessing Support Services: Guidance on connecting employees to internal and external support resources.
• Creating a Safe Workplace: Learn how to foster a workplace culture that prioritises safety, trust, and open communication.

Who Should Attend:
Retail managers, team leaders, supervisors, HR, and Safety managers who support retail staff and want to build the knowledge and confidence to respond effectively when domestic violence affects their team.

Outcome:
By the end of this webinar, participants will be able to identify early warning signs of domestic violence, respond in a safe and supportive way, and connect employees to appropriate resources—helping to protect their team and strengthen workplace wellbeing.
