From Policy to Practice: DV in the Workplace

In this powerful episode of Think: Business Futures, we explore how domestic violence extends beyond the home and into the workplace, affecting productivity, safety, and economic security. For this important discussion we are joined by Dr Mahajla Gavin, senior lecturer at UTS Business School, and an expert on domestic violence workplace policies, Thomas Shortridge, Policy and Research Project manager at UTS Business School, and Lisa McAdams, founder and director of Safe Space Workplace, which helps organisations support employees or clients impacted by domestic violence. We unpack the real cost of domestic violence on employment and education, the journey to securing paid DV leave in Australia, and the critical role businesses play in supporting affected employees. What will it take to create safer and more supportive workplaces for everyone? Hosted and produced by Ali Aitken
