The Government of Ireland has introduced domestic violence leave under the Work-Life Balance and Miscellaneous Provisions Act 2023.

On Monday, 27 November 2023, it became a legal requirement for employers to offer up to five days of paid leave over 12 months to employees affected by domestic violence. It is recommended that employers embed support measures with an organisational response to domestic abuse.

In this episode, we are joined by Sarah Benson, CEO of Women's Aid. We will explore the legislation around the new Domestic Violence Leave Policy and the significant role that Women’s Aid played in shaping it.

Join us as we dive into this important topic where Sarah will discuss the signs to look for, resources available, and practical strategies to help victims, and learn how HR professionals can make a difference in the lives of their employees.
