Strategies

Work to partner with victims/survivors of intimate partner violence, help them with safety plans, and link them to community services (e.g., legal, housing, financial advice, emergency shelter, etc.)

Prohibit criminal history questions on job applications and postpone background checks

Expand broadband availability and adoption in unserved and underserved areas through initiatives that address infrastructure and cost barriers

Expand court-referred intimate partner violence offenders’ understanding of abuse, teach alternative reactions, and work to change gender role attitudes; also called batterer intervention programs (BIPs)

Provide confidential worksite-based counseling and referrals to employees to address personal and workplace challenges

Offer payments, credits toward health insurance premiums, or other financial rewards to encourage employees to lose weight, eat more healthily, quit smoking, engage in physical activity, etc.

Offer programs to help individuals without a high school diploma or its equivalent achieve a high school equivalency credential

Offer flexible working arrangements, allowing the duties of a single full-time position to be covered by two part-time employees

Provide messages that support physical activity to large and broad audiences using television, social media, radio, billboards, newspapers, and other print media

Provide employees with child care options at work; care may be provided free of charge, partially subsidized as part of an employee benefit package, or offered at market rates
