Violence and Harassment in the Workplace

Findings from the Lloyd’s Register Foundation World Risk Poll indicate that in some countries, as many as 75 per cent of female workers are concerned about violence and harassment in the workplace. For the latest episode of The Global Safety Podcast, Tom Heap is joined by a stellar all female panel including Shadow Minister for Domestic Violence and Safeguarding, Jess Phillips, to discuss this significant threat to workplace safety. They delve into the shocking scale of harassment at work both in the UK and globally, address the likely causes and the issues women face when speaking out against perpetrators. We hear the voices of women who have been harassed and abused at work, and, with representation from the ILO and the UN, the panelists identify the most effective ways to bring about much needed and overdue culture change in this area. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
