NYC New Domestic and GBV Workplace Policy

Staying Safe


NYC Domestic and Gender-Based Violence Workplace Policy (2022), pursuant to Executive Order 85, enhances trauma-informed support for City employees experiencing domestic and gender-based violence (DV/GBV) as part of the City’s commitment to a healthy and safe workplace that prioritizes employee wellbeing and access to mental health support. The Mayor’s Office to End Domestic and Gender-Based Violence (ENDGBV) developed the policy and related trainings with the support of Workplaces Respond to Domestic and Sexual Violence, a national resource center operated by Futures Without Violence. The Workplace Policy will be adopted by all agencies and will standardize survivor-centered and trauma-informed responses for employees experiencing domestic and gender-based violence in the workplace or in their personal lives. The policy provides employees with a point of contact at every agency who can provide confidential support and direct connection to ENDGBV and the City’s resources for survivors. New York City is the first municipality in New York State to adopt a Workplace Policy that includes all forms of domestic and gender-based violence. In addition, the New York City Human Rights Law offers broad protections against sexual harassment in employment.
