From our friends at the Sewickley Valley Chamber of Commerce:
On Tuesday,April 8th, 2014, The Sewickley Valley Chamber of Commerce will kickoff its 2014 Professional Development Speaker Series with an Awareness-and-Response Training on the workplace effects of partner violence,facilitated by STANDING FIRM, a Pittsburgh non-profit that presents the business case to end partner violence. The presentation will take place in the Sewickley Public Library’s Community Room, with registration and breakfast at 8:30 am.
According to Susan Nitzberg, Sewickley resident and Associate Director of STANDING FIRM,partner violence happens at home, but it also walks through the doors of many workplaces, whether employers realize it or not. Partner violence causes absenteeism; impaired performance; workplace-violence events; potential liability; and safety concerns for employees and customers.
Thanks in part to generous support from Esmark, there is no charge for this training as long as the employer is a member of STANDING FIRM.
