Workplace Violence Training Resources for Managers
How does your workplace currently respond to domestic violence? Managers are often the first to recognize and respond to domestic violence. A manager’s response is critical.
What would you say to an employee who left early because of upsetting calls from home at least four times in the last month? The employee has worked for your company for five years and performs her job well.
Domestic Violence in the Workplace Training
Our training program is designed to enhance managerial awareness and skills in recognizing, responding and supporting employees who are victims of domestic violence. Managers also learn ways to create supportive environments for victims and options for reducing domestic violence in the workplace.
A key component of our training program includes the documentary "Telling Amy's Story" an emotional story about domestic violence. The film is based on a timeline of events leading up to a domestic violence homicide that occurred in State College, Pennsylvania in 2001. This part of our program reinforces the critical role of managers in recognizing, responding and supporting employee victims.

Workplace Bullying Training Programs
Our workplace bullying program empowers managers to feel comfortable addressing and responding to workplace bullying by learning practical strategies designed to reduce workplace violence and increase knowledge of anti-bullying workplace resources.
In response to numerous requests for workplace bullying training programs from nursing professionals, The Women's Center developed a program specifically addressing Workplace Bullying in Healthcare. This program is one of our most requested training programs.
Here's why..
*Workplace bullying in healthcare threatens the safety and well-being of both patients and staff. (Longo, 2010)
*Nurses bullied by other nurses are twice as likely to leave their position and three times as likely to leave
the nursing profession. (Johnson 2009)
*The Joint Commission requires accredited facilities to implement policies to address disruptive behaviors
among healthcare workers. (Longo, 2010)
