Meet More of Our Team!
The President Kaljulaid Foundation is continuously seeking innovative ways to contribute to the creation of a violence-free society in Estonia. As part of this effort, we are establishing a competence center that will provide employers with the resources to prevent and reduce intimate partner violence (IPV).
Research indicates that intimate partner violence directly affects organizations and work teams, even though the violence itself usually occurs outside the workplace. IPV impacts employee motivation, performance, creativity, and commitment, all of which can influence team dynamics and organizational outcomes. Specifically, the well-being of an organization and its results can be compromised if its members are suffering from intimate partner violence. Moreover, the work environment may often be the only safe and supportive space for victims, offering them the help they need to escape the cycle of violence.
To spearhead the launch of this competence center, we are pleased to welcome Triin Adamson. Triin brings extensive experience in communication and project management, having spent the last 10 years directing communications for companies and organizations across various sectors. Additionally, she has worked as a freelance journalist and served as a project manager in Spain, Portugal, and Belgium. Her projects against IPV have earned prestigious awards.
“The impact of violence on a person’s well-being and work ability is severe. I’ve experienced this firsthand, though fortunately for a short time. This is why I believe employers must pay attention to this issue, raise awareness within their teams, and provide support to those affected. I sincerely believe that this will be of tremendous benefit,” said Triin.
