Beacon programme
Our Beacon programme brings together leading employers who are committed to taking effective action on domestic abuse. Beacon members work closely with EIDA and the Beacon group to respond to domestic abuse within their organisations, and encourage other employers to do the same.
Beacons are amongst our most prominent advocates. They are leading culture change among employers by influencing and inspiring other employers to make a difference to people’s lives by raising awareness of domestic abuse and supporting their employees.
Our Beacons
EIDA Beacon members are leading employers who commit to going further in implementing a workplace domestic abuse response. They share best practice, test new approaches and act as role models within the EIDA network, helping to raise standards and inspire other organisations to take effective action.

Words from our Beacon Members
Developing an effective domestic abuse strategy is the right thing to do to support our people. Becoming a Beacon member was an important step on our journey to become an informed employer and to provide workplace support to those impacted by domestic abuse. The Beacon programme allows us to collaborate alongside other leading organisations on developing resources and promoting cultural change which can lead to lifechanging outcomes for those experiencing domestic abuse. Beacons receive a number of benefits, including dedicated and personalised support from the EIDA team; opportunities to meet with matched member organisations to share best practice and learning; and networking with the group of Beacon members through regular events and roundtable discussions.
bp’s Health & Wellbeing team is committed to creating safe and healthy working environments that not only support, but enhance health and wellbeing. We want to enable our bp colleagues to live their best lifetime. To deliver on this, we develop partnerships with entities who share our vision and strategic priorities, and are delighted to become a beacon member of Employers’ Initiative on Domestic Abuse (EIDA).
We owe it to all of our people to provide a safe and supportive environment. Equally, as we start this important journey to educate and inform and to raise awareness, we want to give our support to this issue so those affected in our communities can have the courage to take action. We look forward to working with EIDA and bringing energy and commitment to our role as a Beacon.
Google is pleased to be joining peer organizations in our joint mission to create greater awareness of domestic violence in the workplace. We know this partnership will create meaningful opportunities to support our organization's commitment to providing a safe, secure and supportive work environment for our employees.

This includes but is not limited to access to bespoke safety mitigation strategies such as support with temporary accommodations, safety planning, and security devices. These amazing resources alongside training and guidance to our managers, HR, legal, and security teams help us make sure that we are doing our best to help victims of domestic violence. We pride ourselves in highlighting the difficult issues that may concern our employees, and advocate for ways in which we can normalize discussions of abuse. Our goal is to promote and build upon the great work our team is doing in this space and we know that EIDA is an important step in that direction.
