It reports the findings of a study of 34 employees in one workplace pertaining to the prevalence of recent IPV, the consequences of batterers' actions on employees' work performance, the context associated with the disclosure of IPV in the workplace, the types of workplace supports that were received, and the effects of supports on employment outcomes. Implications for social work practice are discussed.
