New Sexual Harassment Law: Important change for all employers

New proactive duty to prevent sexual harassment comes into force this month

From the 26th October 2024 a new proactive duty to prevent sexual harassment comes into force and will apply to all employers regardless of size.

In this episode 233 of the podcast I bring you all the detail about the change in the law as well as my advice and recommendations on what employers should be doing to ensure compliance. In this episode we cover:

  • What the new legal obligation means.
  • The consequences of not complying with the new obligation.
  • The steps that employers should take to ensure minimum compliance.
  • Why an annual review is needed.
  • Why training for managers and all staff is important.
