Tackling workplace sexual harassment remains a key priority for employers. New legislation (The Worker Protection (Amendment of Equality Act 2010) Act 2023) comes into force in October 2024 and introduces a duty on all employers to take reasonable steps to prevent sexual harassment of employees.
Our panel of expert employment lawyers will provide practical guidance on this new legislation and the steps employers should take to comply with it.
We’ll revisit precisely what is meant by sexual harassment and discuss how to investigate and manage sexual harassment claims. We’ll also look at workplace culture, policies and the importance of offering the right training to management.
Our hour-long webinars are aimed at directors, HR professionals, in-house lawyers and senior managers and provide practical guidance with the opportunity for Q&As.
