Sexual Harassment in the Workplace | complying with the new statutory duty
A Trades Union Congress poll of over 1,000 women revealed that 3 in 5 have experienced sexual harassment, bullying, or abuse at work, with the number rising to almost 2 in 3 for women aged 25 to 34. However, many do not report these incidents due to fears of not being believed or damaging their careers.
Starting 26 October 2024, a new statutory duty will require employers to prevent sexual harassment at work, based on the Equality and Human Rights Commission’s guidance. With this deadline approaching, it’s essential for employers to understand and comply with these requirements to safeguard employees and avoid liability.
