Preventing sexual harassment in the workplace

In this latest podcast, our employment law experts discuss the new laws, introduced in October 2024, which places a positive duty on employers to take reasonable steps to prevent sexual harassment of its employees in the workplace. These laws mean that if an employee is sexually harassed, and the employer has failed to take reasonable steps to prevent that from happening, any compensation can then be increased by up to 25%. So what steps should employers be taking to protect their business from sexual harassment claims? Hosted by Employment Partner, Rustom Tata, with Employment Partner Will Walsh joining the discussion as a speaker.
