SUMMARY:Peer Learning Forum: Domestic Abuse is Everyone's Issue
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a safe forum to discuss how workplaces can better support employees experiencing domestic abuse.\n\n\nThis is an online event. \nAudience\nBusiness in the Community (BITC) members who have advisory in their membership package. Our Peer Learning Forums (PLF) are now open to all members who have advisory in their membership package – hosted by our issue experts\, there are 20 forums a year\, covering a range of responsible business areas and enabling our members to discuss challenges\, solutions and ideas. \nThis event would be of particular interest to HR generalists\, inclusion and wellbeing specialists\, and individuals with influence over organisational policies and procedures affecting the workforce. \n\n\nAbout the event\nIn this Peer Learning Forum we will consider domestic abuse as a business issue. This session offers a confidential space for members to connect\, share experiences\, and discuss strategies for developing your business’s response to domestic abuse. We will explore ways to better understand\, address\, and respond to domestic abuse\, with insights from experts who have led initiatives within their organisations. \nWhether you’re looking to strengthen your policies or improve your understanding of domestic abuse as a workplace issue\, this forum will provide valuable insights to guide your response. \nGuest speaker\n•  Anna Rowland\, Physical Health Lead\, National Grid \nBackground\nDomestic abuse remains a highly prevalent issue in UK society. \n•  As of the year ending March 2024\, around 2.3 million people between the ages of 16 and 74 reported experiencing domestic abuse. This includes 1.6 million women and 757\,000 men\, highlighting that while anyone can be affected\, women remain disproportionately impacted.* \n•  75% of domestic violence victims report experiencing harassment at work from their abuser. This finding highlights the significant overlap between domestic abuse and workplace environments\, emphasising the need for awareness and support systems in workplaces.* \n•  Each year\, more than 75\,000 people in the UK are at high and imminent risk of being murdered or seriously injured as a result of domestic abuse.* \n•  2.5 years is the average time victims at high risk of serious harm or murder live with domestic abuse before getting help.* \nSupporting employees experiencing domestic abuse must therefore be a consideration for every responsible business. Appropriate\, effective support from employers around domestic abuse can help provide safety and financial security for employees. \n\n\nBooking and contact details and further information\n\nContact Jessica Hart\, Event Coordinator\, BITC for any further questions.\nFull joining instructions will be sent before the event.\n\nFind out how your organisation can become a member of Business in the Community \n\nReferences \n* Domestic Abuse Statistics 2024: UK Insights and Challenges | CIH \n*Domestic Violence Statistics and Your Workplace | Crisis Prevention Institute (CPI) \n*Facts and figures on domestic abuse – SafeLives

SUMMARY:BITC Scotland’s Wellbeing Leadership Roundtable
DESCRIPTION:Join us to drive positive change and cultivate workplaces that enhance employees wellbeing. \n\n\nThis is an in-person event. The roundtable will take place between 8.40-10am\, followed by half an hour of refreshments and networking. \nAudience\nThis event is open to Business in the Community (BITC) members and non-members. The event has been designed to benefit senior leaders in particular (for example CEO\, HR/Talent Directors\, H&S Directors or Executive sponsors for wellbeing).  \n\n\n“Our employees are our greatest asset.” This statement is often repeated\, but are companies truly putting their people first?  Only 36% of managers currently utilise data to evaluate the wellbeing of their employees\, highlighting a critical gap. To address this\, we need data-driven strategies for assessing and improving employee health and wellbeing programmes.  \n\n\nAbout the event\nThis Leadership roundtable on Wellbeing will be a platform for open dialogue\, knowledge sharing\, and develop actionable strategies to enhance employee wellbeing.  \nAs part of this roundtable\, we will explore the key findings of our “Prioritise People: The Next Step report” developed in collaboration with the McKinsey Health Institute. Additionally\, we’ll present the inaugural results of our Work well Self-Assessment Tool\, designed to help you measure and improve your organisation’s wellbeing initiatives.   \n\nDiscover the latest research and data-driven strategies to prioritise employee health and wellbeing. \n\n\nConnect with fellow senior leaders who are equally committed to creating thriving workplaces.  \nEquip yourself with the knowledge and tools to create a culture that empowers all employees to succeed. \n\nTogether\, we can drive positive change and cultivate workplaces that prioritise wellbeing and empower all individuals to thrive. We do hope you can join this important conversation.  \n\n\nRefreshments\nA light breakfast will be served at the roundtable. \n\n\nBooking and contact details and further information\n\nContact Jessica Hart for any further questions.\nFull joining instructions will be sent before the event.\n\nFind out how your organisation can become a member of Business in the Community
