Identifying GBV at the Workplace: Do you know what Gender Based Violence looks like?
Gender roles are influenced by the region’s historical legacies of colonialism, slavery, and indentureship which are deeply capitalist and patriarchal. GBV is not limited to domestic situations, although domestic situations can impact employee performance and their ability to execute their job functions, but GBV can also manifest itself in the workplace. Therefore, there is a need for better collaboration among stakeholders for capacity building and gender justice to ensure knowledge transfer and sustainability in driving the transformation of harmful cultural gendered norms. There is a need to harmonize legislation and public policy, and legislation and company policy.
Our Policy to Address GBV at the Workplace gives you a solid, step-by-step plan to efficiently handle these matters – if they are disclosed to you. Review the joint policy here.
Perhaps some of your employees may be experiencing some of these yellow or red flags.
