There is a direct link between domestic violence and productivity in the workplace, with one in five victims experiencing continued harassment from their partners at work, a Sydney study has found. The study confirms that domestic violence affects employees capacity to get to work and their performance, productivity and safety. The majority of the respondents were women (81%), two-thirds were in full-time employment and nearly two-thirds (64%) were over 45.
