Proactive approaches to preventing workplace sexual harassment and the new “preventative duty”

A change to the law this October is set to shift employers’ approach to harassment by creating a positive legal obligation for them to try to stop sexual harassment from happening by taking reasonable steps to prevent it. Failure to take these steps can result in financial and reputational consequences and guidance encourages employers to anticipate scenarios where harassment may occur.

Relevant for HR professionals and anyone with line management responsibility and compliance obligations, this webinar led by Louise Price, Partner and Head of Employment & HR Services at Hugh James will explore the implications of the new approach for your team and the steps you need to follow for your organisation and staff.
