We are delighted to welcome our newest Beacon members: online retailer and web service provider, Amazon, and leading infrastructure services and engineering company, Amey. They will join EIDA's existing Beacon members in leading the way on tackling domestic abuse and shining a light on EIDA’s mission.
Amazon said: We are keen to work with the EIDA network to ensure our people understand what domestic violence is and how we as an organisation will support them. We have also launched a goal to become Earth’s Best Employer, a part of which involves leaders creating an environment of physical and psychological safety for employees. This extends to safety outside of the workplace and therefore addressing domestic violence with our employees is critical. Finally, we are a customer obsessed organisation. Recognising that the issues impacting our employees also impact our customers, we want to open and contribute to the dialogue on domestic violence via EIDA. Amey said: Amey became members of EIDA because we are committed to offering support to any of our people who are experiencing domestic abuse and want to shine a light on an issue that is often hidden. We want our people to feel comfortable raising issues and look forward to working with EIDA so that our people don’t see domestic abuse as a taboo subject and can instead talk openly about it. To help raise awareness we are introducing a policy and guidance, support options and will have a team of trained Domestic Abuse Ambassadors. |
