Vodafone introduces a new global HR policy aimed at supporting domestic violence and abuse victims

Vodafone launches a new HR policy, as part of a global initiative aimed at providing specific support to victims of domestic violence and abuse in all 25 countries, where the group is present, including Romania. According to the new policy, employees globally will have access to support and specialist counselling, as well as up to 10 days additional paid leave, called “safe leave”, in all countries. The extra days of paid leave  represent a support to employees who have faced an abuse, providing time to manage their situation, such as seeking professional help and counselling, attending police or court appointments, arranging to move house, and supporting their children.
