Everyone's Business

We spend a considerable amount of time at work. Therefore, employers have a unique role to play in responding to domestic abuse.

It is vital that every employee is able to access specialist domestic abuse support. In addition, domestic abuse costs UK businesses £1.9billion a year. That’s why Hestia developed the Everyone’s Business programme.

Everyone’s Business works with employers so that they can provide information, resources and practical guidance to employees who have experienced domestic abuse. When employers take action and respond to domestic abuse we know it saves lives. 

If you are an organisation interested in joining the Everyone’s Business programme, take a look at our The Everyone’s Business Offer page, or register your interest by filling in this form.  To find out more about Everyone's Business and what support packages are available, download our brochure.

"Working with the Everyone's Business team has helped focus our review of policies and, with their expertise, update to align with wider industry policies. With Hestia's support, we are striving to ensure that all employees affected by domestic abuse at the Ministry of Defence are guided to seek specialist support."- Ministry of Defence
