Good afternoon, everyone. I am Linda Basch, President of the National Council for Research on Women. The Council is an alliance of nearly 100 leading women s research and policy centers that aims to influence public thinking and debate through accurate, evidence-based information and analysis. We at the Council have been increasingly concerned with issues that affect the workplace, including the issues we ll be addressing today in this panel.Violence is increasingly present in the world around us  on global and local levels  in our schools, in the streets, in the workplace and in our homes. As violence persists and grows, it is important for us to recognize the issue of violence in the workplace. We all know that the workplace is not a closed environment. The effects of violence that occurs outside of the workplace -- fear, stress, and their physical manifestations -- seep into the workplace in various forms, often creating a very uncomfortable environment for all employees. And violence that occurs in the workplace is felt in other realms of life. Yet workplace and domestic violence have not been addressed adequately as work/life issues, either by the research community or in companies, and so I d especially like to thank Working Mother Media and the two companies that you ll hear from today, Pearson Education and Verizon Wireless, for putting this issue on the agenda and making it a priority. Before we hear from Angela Schwers, from Pearson Education, and Martha Delehanty, from Verizon Wireless, who will be sharing some of the innovative policies and practices their companies have adopted to address the issue of workplace violence, I d like to give some brief background information on these issues."@A b[Qg% H  0޽h ? 3380___PPT10.!Ur[X 0 h(  X  C      S D 0  j(First, let s define these issues. According to the Center for Disease Control and the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health, Workplace Violence is defined as any physical assault, threatening behavior or verbal abuse occurring in the work setting. It includes but is not limited to: beatings, stabbings, suicides, shootings, rapes and other sexual violence, and psychological trauma.&H  0޽h ? 3380___PPT10.#*y 0 6.@ (  @^ @ S    (  @ c $ 0   v I now turn to our two panelists, whose companies Pearson Education and Verizon Wireless have taken violence in the workplace and the impact of domestic violence in work environments seriously.I d like to congratulate both Pearson and Verizon for the initiative they ve taken on issues of violence, and also for all of their fantastic efforts that have earned them slots in Working Mother Media s list of top 100 companies.You all have bios of the speakers in your packets, so I ll very briefly introduce Angela Schwers and Martha Delehanty. Angela Schwers is Vice President of Human Resources at Pearson Education and an active proponent of WorkLife strategies. She has been helping employees balance their work and personal lives since 1993, by implementing a variety of programs ranging from flexible work schedules to on-site massages. Angela will present first. Our second panelist will be Martha Delehanty, Vice President of Human Resources at Verizon Wireless. Martha is responsible for all human resources strategy programs, including employee relations, compensation, training & development, staffing, diversity, and compliance. Martha joined Verizon Wireless in 2000 as Executive Director of Employee Relations. Both panelists will speak for about 20 minutes, and we will then have time for questions and comments. xkfh#  V   G  V 'H @ 0޽h ? 3380___PPT10.!Ur[ 0 A9(  X  C    9  S  0  GNow, as you can see from the slide, the scope and effects of these types of violence are huge. There are two million assaults and threats of violence against Americans at work each year. In 2001, there were 639 workplace homicides. Workplace violence accounted for 15% of all work-related occupational injuries in 2002. Close to 700,000 incidents of domestic violence are documented every year. Although women and people of color experience the highest rates of violence perpetrated against them, the problem reaches across gender, racial groups, and management levels. pDk [9>H  0޽h ? 3380___PPT10.Ĝ@ yp  0 ` X (  X  C    X  S  0  pBoth domestic violence and workplace violence also have strong negative impacts on a company s revenue on the bottom line. The annual cost of violence to the American workplace is estimated to be over 35 billion dollars.Domestic violence costs US employers an estimated 727.8 million dollars annually, with over 7.9 million paid workdays lost each year. Between one quarter and one half of domestic violence victims report that they had lost a job due, at least in part, to domestic violence. According to an FBI and Department of Justice study in 2002, the negative effects of violence on companies include decreased worker productivity, increased health care costs, and legal and security expenses.The similar effects of both forms of violence on the workplace tell us that proactive solutions to deal with the impact of both workplace and domestic violence can be beneficial to employees and, as a result, to the overall health of a company. f!4I3H  0޽h ? 3380___PPT10.ŜR?2 0 B(  X  C      S  0  DHere is a list of some agencies addressing the issues of workplace and domestic violence and I encourage you to visit their websites for more information. Unfortunately, however, inadequate research attention has been given to these issues by government bureaus like the Department of Labor and the National Institute for Occupational Safety and health, whose job it is to collect such statistics and to provide exemplary strategies for solutions. As you ll hear today, much of this research is almost a decade old. This is especially problematic considering the impact of violence on all of our lives in this post-September 11th world. &w H  0޽h ? 3380___PPT10.Ɯ0 0 f^(  X  C    ^  S   0  Domestic Violence, according to the US Department of Health and Human Services, describes serious or repeated injury caused by a person who has family ties or a sexual relationship with the victim.

Legal Momentum, which some of you may know as NOW LDEF, has worked to develop company policies addressing the impact of domestic violence on the workplace, in collaboration with Liz Claiborne, Inc. and the Family Violence Prevention Fund. Legal Momentum has also published a pamphlet entitled  The Impact of Violence in the Lives of Working Women. Creating Solutions Creating Change, which serves as a guide book for employers to create policies that successfully address violence in the workplace, and includes an examination of legal issues that employers face in these situations. Another pamphlet provides advice targeted towards small businesses for handling issues of domestic violence. We have a few copies of both pamphlets here today. Legal Momentum also does trainings for businesses, is part of the Safe@Work coalition, and maintains a clearinghouse of information on law and legislation regarding domestic violence, stalking, and sexual assault and the workplace. And I believe Deborah Widiss from Legal Momentum is here today Deborah can you identify yourself in case anyone would like to ask you more about Legal Momentum s work after the panel? The Institute for Women s Policy Research has produced a report, calledMeasuring theCosts of Domestic Violence Against Women, on the costs of domestic violence to workers, employers, and society. The report can be ordered through their website. The Center for Women in Government at SUNY Albany has completed a study on workplace violence, in which they found women s risk of serious injury from workplace violence to be greater than men s risk.Business and Professional Women has done policy work on the SAFE Act, an act introduced in Congress last year to deal with insurance discrimination and other discriminatory policies against domestic violence victims at work. PP&6| , EH  0޽h ? 3380___PPT10.^A   0 F >  (  X  C    >   S H  0   The Council also has a Corporate Circle, which connects researchers with leaders concerned with change in the corporate arena. 17 companies are part of this they re listed here. A few of our Corporate Circle members have begun to prioritize violence as a workplace issue. They re listed here in bold. These include: American Express, which introduced a workplace violence policy which emphasizes a safe, zero tolerance work environment. The company also co-funded the informational pamphlet  Creating Solutions  Creating Change, produced by Legal Momentum, and is part of the Safe@Work coalition. The Safe@Work coalition is a clearinghouse of information for employers to identify ways to handle domestic violence in the workplace.Credit Suisse First Boston  or CSFB  has a Dignity at Work Policy that addresses harassment, bullying, sexual harassment, name calling, stereotyping, racial slurs, and offensive jokes. This policy was created in 2002 in response to 9/11, and includes mandatory training programs.And we ll hear from Pearson Education, another Corporate Circle member, about their policies in just a minute. rs   K ,I  H  0޽h ? 3380___PPT10.}srl IT6Ws\o`&eni!qN,= ՜Pln Pm0Oh+'08 hp  $ 0<HPQApproaches to Addressing Workplace Violence/ Domestic Abuse as a WorkLife Issue DNCRWachEclipse li60iMicrosoft PowerPointing@@UaE@U\@BҫGg    -- @ !--'--$G )3=GP Xai"q*x3;DMV_ir| )3=GQ[dnwxqiaXPG=3) --'ff--$?<HV.d<sC{IPV[afkotx{$.9CNYcnx{xtokfa [VP%I.C6<>.M[iuuu<<<<--'--%,MlM--'@"Verdana-. 92 !Working Mother WorkLife Congress W!   !   ."System-@"Verdana-. 2 TOctober 6th 2004  .-@"Verdana-.  2 B1E.-@Arial-. ffB2 t'Approaches to Addressing Workplace and 4++++(++'+4+++'',+K+(++'++,+.-@Arial-. ff'2 Domestic Violence as 8+A+''4+,+'++'.-@Arial-. ff2 WorkLifeL+(++.-@Arial-. ff2 Issues''++'.-@"Verdana-. 2 "Angela e-))''.-@"Verdana-. 2 "Schwerse)")9(#.-@"Verdana-. 42 aVice President Human Resources($##$#%,&8#%(##%#.-@"Verdana-. !2 Pearson Education ####%%$&##%.-@"Verdana-. 2 :Martha e7')'.-@"Verdana-. 2 : Delehanty0'')'*&.-@"Verdana-. 42 yVice President Human Resources($##$#%,&8#%(##%#.-@"Verdana-. 2 Verizone(##%.-@"Verdana-. 2 Wireless:##.-@"Verdana-. 2 SModerated by 1#$###%$#.-@"Verdana-. 2   Linda Baschy%))','"#).-@"Verdana-. 2 G Presidentc##$#%.-@"Verdana-. @2 :x&National Council for Research on Women+##%$*#%%#(###%#&9$8#%.-՜.+,D՜.+,L    On-screen Show? -sC  { ArialTimes New RomanVerdana WingdingsＭＳ ＰゴシックEclipseMApproaches to Addressing Workplace and Domestic Violence as WorkLife Issues What is Workplace Violence?What is Domestic Violence?The Scope of the Problem)The Bottom Line: Impact on the Workplace ResourcesNCRW Member CentersNCRW Corporate Circle MembersRApproaches to Addressing Workplace Violence/ Domestic Abuse as a WorkLife Issue  Fonts UsedDesign TemplateSlide Titles l 8@ _PID_HLINKSA$Bhttp://www.dol.gov/'http://www.cdc.gov/niosh/homepage.htmlhttp://www.bpw.org/0http://www.abanet.org/domviol/workviolence.html'http://www.4woman.gov/owh/violence.htm-http://www.fbi.gov/publications/violence.pdf(http://endabuse.org/programs/workplace/http://www.legalmomentum.org/http://www.iwpr.org/http://www.cwig.albany.edu/$http://www.safeatworkcoalition.org/Root EntrydO)f@ Current User>SummaryInformation(ihPowerPoint Document(C  !"#$%&'()*+,-./0123456789:;<=>?@ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ[\]^_`abcdefghjklmnopqr  !"#$%&'(aches to Addressing Workplace and Domestic Violence as WorkLife Issues What is Workplace Violence?What is Domestic Violence?The Scope of the Problem)The Bottom Line: Impact on the Workplace ResourcesNCRW Member CentersNCRW Corporate Circle MembersRApproaches to Addressing Workplace Violence/ Domestic Abuse as a WorkLife Issue  Fonts UsedDesign TemplateSlide Titles p@$P _PID_HLINKS_AdHocReviewCycleID_EmailSubject_AuthorEmail_AuthorEmailDisplayNameA$Bhttp://www.dol.gov/'http://www.cdc.gov/niosh/homepage.htmlhttp://www.bpw.org/0http://www.abanet.org/domviol/workviolence.html'http://www.4woman.gov/owh/violence.htm-http://www.fbi.gov/publications/violence.pdf(http://endabuse.org/programs/workplace/http://www.legalmomentum.org/http://www.iwpr.org/http://www.cwig.albany.edu/$http://www.safeatworkcoalition.org/More materialslhorton@ncrw.org Liz Horton !"#$%&'()*+,-./0123456789:;<=>?@ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ[\]^_`abcdefghjklmnopqrtuvwxyz|}~DocumentSummaryInformation8 "_  Liz HortonLiz Horton՜.+,D՜.+,L    On-screen Show? -sC  { ArialTimes New RomanVerdana WingdingsＭＳ ＰゴシックEclipseMAppro
