Onus

"ONUS has supported Triangle to develop a Workplace policy on Domestic Violence and raise awareness of this with staff & managers through a range of training interventions. Through this approach, we have successfully engaged with staff on this important issue leading to a number of our employees volunteering to become peer support via the 'Trusted Colleague' training program. As a leading provider of housing and support services across Northern Ireland, our vision is ''Building Better Futures Together" through supporting and empowering those in society who are in need. We believe that working alongside ONUS, we can help to make this happen for those individuals affected by domestic violence. By taking proactive steps to address domestic violence as a wider issue for the community in which we provide operate, Triangle can also demonstrate its genuine commitment to Corporate Social Responsibility and support the work of other charitable organisations. As an employer of approximately 280 staff, we recognise that domestic violence is not only a health & wellbeing issue but also a significant concern in terms of employee health & safety. The Workplace Charter helps us to fulfil our employer obligations in this area and continually improve as a recognised 'Investor in People'and 'Employer of Choice'. We recognise the clear business benefits to be gained from supporting staff on this issue in terms of reduced absenteeism, lower levels of labour turnover and increased productivity. As an organisation, we promote quality services and a positive workplace culture through our commitment to 5 core values -choice, inclusion, dignity, empowerment and respect.
