Domestic Violence and the Workplace
From: Leah Schanke
Training and Development Specialist
Office of Human Resources
Register by email to hr.learning@baruch.cuny.edu.
Note: New York State has separated domestic violence from workplace violence as a growing area of concern. Faculty and staff who have supervisory responsibilities are required to attend a class on domestic violence and a class on workplace violence prevention.
Baruch College is committed to promoting the health and safety of its employees. Domestic violence can spill over into the workplace, compromising the safety of both victims and co-workers and resulting in lost productivity, increased health care costs, increased absenteeism, and increased employee turnover. As a public employer, CUNY is committed to full compliance of all applicable laws governing domestic violence in the workplace. All faculty and staff with supervisory responsibilities are required to attend this mandatory training on how to respond appropriately to domestic violence concerns.
The schedule of April sessions is as follows:
Friday, Apr. 3, 10 am – 11:30 am
Location: Newman Vertical Campus, 14-269
Friday, Apr. 17, 10 am – 11:30 am
Location: Newman Vertical Campus, 14-269
To register for one of the training sessions, please send an e-mail to hr.learning@baruch.cuny.edu, stating the session you would like to attend. You will receive a reply with a confirmation. Non-supervisory faculty and staff are welcome to attend if interested.
You can review CUNY's Policy and Procedures for Domestic Violence at this link: www.baruch.cuny.edu/hr/documents/CUNYPolicy-DomesticViolence.pdf.
