Ensuring Confidentiality for Domestic Violence Leave
Maintaining confidentiality is critical when employees apply for domestic violence leave. Employees need assurance that their personal circumstances remain private, especially when dealing with sensitive issues. A workplace that respects confidentiality fosters trust and encourages employees to seek support without fear of exposure. Confidentiality is not only a legal obligation; it is essential for employee wellbeing.

- Confidentiality Agreements – Have key personnel sign confidentiality agreements to reinforce privacy standards.
