Domestic Violence Does Not Stay at Home.
Domestic violence can affect attendance, performance, safety, communication, productivity, leadership decisions, and workplace culture. Compass Forward helps organizations respond with education, practical tools, and survivor-centered strategies.
Employees do not stop experiencing domestic violence when they walk through the workplace door.
Abuse can follow someone through repeated phone calls, stalking, threats, schedule disruption, financial interference, transportation problems, childcare complications, fatigue, injury, anxiety, and attempts by an abusive partner to reach them at work.
Organizations do not need to become domestic violence agencies. They do need enough knowledge to recognize concerns, respond appropriately, connect employees with resources, and avoid responses that unintentionally create additional barriers.
Support built for workplaces and the people inside them.
Compass Forward provides education and consulting that can be adapted for employees, supervisors, HR professionals, leadership teams, and broader organizational needs.
Employee Education
Accessible domestic violence education that helps employees understand abuse, coercive control, barriers to leaving, available resources, and how to support a colleague or loved one.
Managers & Supervisors
Practical education for recognizing workplace concerns, responding to disclosures, maintaining appropriate boundaries, documenting concerns, and connecting employees with available help.
HR & People Teams
Training and consultation focused on survivor-centered workplace response, resource pathways, confidentiality considerations, organizational practices, and consistent support.
Leadership & Executives
Strategic education that helps leaders understand domestic violence as a workforce, safety, culture, and organizational responsibility issue.
Good intentions are not enough without practical guidance.
Managers and organizations may want to help but still be unsure what to say, what not to say, when to involve HR or security, how to preserve an employee's dignity, or where the limits of the workplace role should be.
Compass Forward helps organizations replace uncertainty with a clearer, more consistent response.
Workplace education can address:
- Recognizing possible domestic violence concerns.
- Responding appropriately when an employee discloses abuse.
- Avoiding judgmental or harmful responses.
- Understanding coercive control and barriers to leaving.
- Connecting employees with appropriate resources.
- Supporting safety without taking control away from the survivor.
- Clarifying workplace roles and responsibilities.
- Building stronger internal response pathways.
Education designed for different levels of an organization.
Training can be adapted to the audience, workplace environment, available time, and specific learning goals.
Awareness & Education
Foundational domestic violence education for employees, workplaces, community groups, and organizations.
Response Skills
Practical training for managers, supervisors, HR teams, and others who may receive disclosures or recognize workplace concerns.
Customized Workshops
Tailored sessions addressing specific workplace needs, organizational audiences, events, awareness campaigns, or community education goals.
Building systems that last beyond a single awareness event.
Compass Forward is developing a broader workplace domestic violence initiative designed to help organizations strengthen education, leadership awareness, employee resources, internal response pathways, and long-term support.
The goal is not simply to recognize Domestic Violence Awareness Month. It is to help workplaces build sustainable knowledge and systems that employees can access throughout the year.
Survivor-centered. Practical. Workplace-aware.
Compass Forward combines domestic violence education with an understanding of real workplace environments. The goal is to give organizations usable information without expecting managers, HR professionals, or coworkers to become counselors or crisis advocates.
Strong workplace response begins with knowing how to recognize, respond, refer, and support without creating additional harm.
