What impact can domestic violence have on a victim's employment?

Domestic violence can have a significant impact on a victim's employment, often leading to absenteeism and decreased productivity. Victims may experience physical and emotional turmoil, which can hinder their ability to perform effectively at work. This may include taking excessive time off due to injuries, health issues related to stress, or needing to attend legal proceedings. Additionally, the emotional strain can cause difficulties in concentration, resulting in lower productivity levels, decreased job performance, and challenges in maintaining workplace relationships.

Understanding the implications of domestic violence on a victim's work life is critical for employers, managers, and colleagues to create supportive environments that can help victims navigate their situations.
