Preventing Sexual Harassment for Managers
The new duty to prevent sexual harassment in the UK will be enforceable by employment tribunals, allowing for increased compensation for victims by up to 25% if an employer fails in their duty.
Employers and senior management teams must be equipped to understand what constitutes sexual harassment to create a safe environment where employees feel comfortable speaking out. Regular training is essential to stay updated on best practices for complying with sexual harassment legislation.
Our Preventing Sexual Harassment for Managers will help your leaders learn effective strategies to prevent harassment within their teams. We also have a companion course for all employees entitled Preventing Sexual Harassment.
