About the Book
This book is a comprehensive guide on how domestic violence in the workplace can impact the whole organization and influence the lives of others, beyond the target of the violence. A company can benefit by implementing a domestic violence-prevention program and it will:
- Have a positive impact on the bottom line of the company;
- Train the company’s top performing managers to be the appropriate “go-to” person in dealing with issues that may carry-over into the workplace.
- Enable all employees to recognize the signs and deal with them appropriately.

Domestic violence is the five-hundred pound Gorilla in the room no one wants to talk about. The problem is, we not only need to talk about DV, we need to take positive steps to deal with a problem that impacts more families than we know. Stephanie makes a terrific point in this book that the obvious place to raise awareness and take steps to deal with DV is the workplace. Since we spend as much time in the workplace as we with our families, this is the perfect venue to raise awareness and offer assistance.
I know Stephanie Angelo's passion for raising employer’s awareness of this serious social issue. I also know Stephanie as a knowledgeable and caring HR professional. She has the background, the expertise and the methodologies to help you and your organization deal with Domestic Violence in very positive ways. I think "Going Purple" is an initiative every HR Director in the country should adopt.
