Bloom Talks is a podcast show bringing you guest speakers talking about the topics that really matter for women in the communications industry and beyond.
In this special International Women’s Day episode of Bloom Talks, Kelly Chandaria, Bloom Vice President, is joined by Faye Connelly, Head of Fundraising at Women’s Aid.
Together, they explore why domestic abuse is not just a personal issue, it’s a workplace issue.
With 1 in 3 women affected, colleagues are often the first people survivors confide in. This episode shares practical ways individuals and employers can create safer spaces, from responding with empathy to strengthening internal policies.
Because small actions at work can have life-changing impact.
In this episode we discuss:
How to respond if someone confides in you
Early signs colleagues might notice
What a strong domestic abuse policy includes
Why asking “Do we have a policy?” is leadership
How payroll giving and match funding can double impact
As Bloom marks 10 years of partnership with Women’s Aid, we’re asking our community to go Beyond the Bubble.
Take one action today:
– Read the Friends & Family Handbook
– Ask your employer about their domestic abuse policy
– Start one conversation
