Organizational Policies & Support

As sexual violence programs move their work out of the office and to mobile and virtual platforms, it is very important for programs to update their policies to support the safety and wellbeing of their staff and maintain sustainable programs.

From front-line staff members to leadership, please reach out to OAESV for support or technical assistance regarding policies and creating flexible, safe and supportive workplaces during this time.

The Society for Human Resource Management (SHRM) also has a collection of HR-specific resources related to COVID-19. These resources are not specific to non-profit or government funded agencies but may offer helpful guidance on some commonly asked questions.

ACEs Connection also has some tips and reminders for how to practice trauma-informed care at an organizational level while we collectively feel the impact of COVID-19 and the national response to it.

As many people move to use Zoom or other online video conferencing platforms, it’s important to be aware of fatigue. A Mindful.org article explains what Zoom Fatigue is and how to find balance.

Here are some flexible and supportive ways to manage workflow during this crisis:
