- Provide resources within our workplace and our community that will raise awareness about family violence, help people recognize potentially abusive or violent situations, and offer support safely.
- Identify two representatives to receive SAFE Pledge Training from SAFE, so that they can effectively develop, review, and implement policies that support employees who may be affected by family violence.
- Create and publish comprehensive company policies that support employees who may be affected by family violence.
- Work in partnership with SAFE to support their mission to stop abuse for everyone.
