1:1 Connect  Confidential workplace support

Guiding workplaces through

DFV, sexual harassment & bullying

Confidential support for HR, leaders and employees navigating domestic and family violence (DFV), sexual harassment and workplace bullying.

Workplaces have a responsibility to provide a safe, respectful environment, but when employees disclose experiences of domestic violence or sexual harassment, many HR professionals and leaders aren’t sure how to respond.

Workhaven’s 1:1 Connect service provides expert, confidential guidance to help organisations navigate these complex and sensitive issues while prioritising both employee wellbeing and workplace compliance.

Our support will help you make sure employees receive the right assistance, while HR teams and leaders are equipped to handle disclosures effectively, minimise psychosocial hazards in the workplace and meet their legal obligations.

      FAQs

        What should I do if an employee reports domestic violence?

        The first step is to listen without judgement and to show your support. It’s important to know what resources are available, from domestic violence workplace support services to adjustments that can help keep them safe at work. Our 1:1 / Connect service provides HR and leadership guidance to help you respond effectively.

        What if our workplace doesn’t have a clear policy on DFV or sexual harassment?

        A strong policy framework, prevention plan and reporting mechanism is essential for preventing and managing workplace risks, including psychosocial hazards in the workplace. We help organisations develop clear, legally compliant policies that outline prevention, reporting procedures and employee support mechanisms.

        How can I better support an employee experiencing domestic & family violence?

        Providing workplace accommodations, such as flexible working arrangements, paid DFV leave, or referrals to support services, can make a significant difference. Workhaven offers one-on-one guidance to help employers create safe, supportive environments for impacted employees.

        How should I handle a workplace response to sexual harassment?

        When an employee reports sexual harassment, organisations must take immediate action. We can guide you through the process to ensure your workplace’s response is both legally compliant and employee-centred.
