support

Take part in our latest readers’ poll on a current topical issue. Last week, Employee Benefits reported that Markel Insurance rolled out its domestic abuse support framework for its UK employees.

The framework aims to provide an holistic approach to support those impacted by domestic abuse by raising awareness and storing disclosures in line with data protection policies. It also offers training that ensures appropriate aid, privacy and safety protocols are in place. It includes confidential support via employees who have received dedicated training, access to financial support and counselling via Markel’s employee benefits, local support via Women’s Aid, line manager guidance, a case-by-case approach to attendance and paid leave, and workplace security and safety through the Bright Sky app.

In light of this, do you offer any domestic abuse support for your staff?
