Workplace Harassment: Managing Risk and Meeting Employer Responsibilities
Workplace harassment is no longer just an employee relations issue – it’s a significant legal, financial and reputational risk for employers.
Recent changes to UK employment law have placed greater responsibility on employers to take proactive steps to prevent harassment in the workplace. Following the introduction of the Worker Protection (Amendment of Equality Act 2010) Act 2023 in October 2024, further changes under the Employment Rights Act 2025 are set to take effect from October 2026, expanding employer obligations even further.

The new legal protections relating to third-party harassment
