Free Live Webinar - Is your business ready...? The law on sexual harassment is about to change!

Posted: 16 September 2024

Author: Laura Roper

Category: Employment

From 26 October 2024, employers will be under a new positive duty to take reasonable steps to prevent sexual harassment of their workers.
 
Failing to comply with this new duty can be costly with the Tribunal being given the power to uplift any compensation awarded to employees for sexual harassment claims, by up to 25%. The EHRC can also take enforcement action against the employer.
 
So, what can you do to help ensure your business’s legal compliance… 
 
Let us tell you at one of our FREE LIVE WEBINARS, which will explain the new legal duty, as well as provide practical tips and guidance for employers.
