“…The studies were published from 2001 to 2016. The percentage of study participants who were women ranged from <5% (Wagner, Yates, & Walcott, 2012) to 100% (Falk, Shepard, & Elliott, 2001). Only one study used a randomized design at the county level (Glass et al, 2016).…”

“…Only one study used a randomized design at the county level (Glass et al, 2016). All other studies were nonrandomized: two studies used pretest/posttest designs with a comparison group (Falk et al, 2001;Krishnan, Gambhir, Luecke, & Jagannathan, 2016), two had pretest/posttest designs with no comparison group (Glass et al, 2010;Navarro, Jasinski, & Wick, 2014), and one had a posttest design only with no comparison group (Wagner et al, 2012).

Workplace interventions represent important opportunities to increase awareness of and adherence to disease prevention and health promotion initiatives. However, research on workplace interventions for intimate partner violence (IPV) has not been systematically evaluated. This systematic review summarizes existing studies evaluating workplace interventions for IPV. PubMed, PsycINFO, Business Source Complete, Web of Science, and Social Services Abstracts were systematically searched for English-language studies published before November 2017. Six studies evaluating five interventions were included. Only one study used a randomized design, and only two studies measured whether outcomes were sustained over time. None of the interventions addressed perpetrators of IPV. Interventions focused on recognizing signs of abuse, responding to victims, and providing referrals to community-based resources. Methodological rigor of included studies varied, but all reported at least one intervention-related benefit. Findings included improved awareness of IPV, increased provision of information to victims, and greater willingness to intervene if an employee may be experiencing IPV.

“…In addition, conjoint family interventions in EA settings have been studied, building on the foundation of prior research supporting family interventions for a number of clinical issues (Bayer, 1995). Further areas of recent EAP research include studies of domestic violence (Falk et al, 2002), the impact of caring for dependents (Hoffman, 2000;Safyer et al, 1996), and organizational development (Kimball et al, 2002). Outcome measures usually take two forms in EAP research: satisfaction and treatment effectiveness.…”

Timely problem identification/assessment is one of the core technologies of employee assistance programs (EAPs). Historically, assessment primarily involved assessing individual problems. Increasingly, EAPs are expected to assess couple, family, and even organizational problems. Although the most common methods of assessment are qualitative in nature (e.g., personal interview), there are several advantages to utilizing quantitative assessments as a method of gathering information from clients regarding individual problems, relationship dynamics, and organizational functioning. In this article the authors discuss the merits of quantitative assessment in EAP service delivery and describe their use and development of quantitative measures for assessing individuals, couples, families, and organizations.

Corporate Responses to Intimate Partner Violence

et al. 2023

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Intimate partner violence (IPV) is among society’s most pernicious and impactful social issues, causing substantial harm to health and wellbeing, and impacting women’s employability, work performance, and career opportunity. Organizations play a vital role in addressing IPV, yet, in contrast to other employee- and gender-related social issues, very little is known regarding corporate responses to IPV. IPV responsiveness is a specific demonstration of corporate social responsibility and is central to advancing gender equity in organizations. In this paper, we draw upon unique data on the IPV policies and practices of 191 Australian listed corporations between 2016 and 2019, that collectively employ around 1.5 M employees. Providing the first large-scale empirical analysis of corporate IPV policies and practices, we theorise that listed corporations’ IPV responsiveness reflects institutional and stakeholder pressures which are multifaceted and central to corporate social responsibility. Our findings identify greater IPV responsiveness among larger corporations, as well as those corporations with higher proportions of women middle managers, greater financial resources, and more advanced employee consultation on gender issues. This paper concludes that there is a need for further research on corporate IPV responsiveness, to further illuminate corporate motivations, organizational support processes, and employee experiences.
