A recent survey suggested that many employers in the UK are unprepared for the new mandatory duty to take reasonable steps to prevent sexual harassment in the workplace. With the new provisions coming into force on 26 October, employers have very little time to prepare. Come 26 October, you will either have taken the reasonable steps required or you will not, and if you have not, you will immediately be exposed. Acting now or, as a minimum, being seen to think now about whether you need to act, is a likely prerequisite of compliance with this new duty.
In this webinar recording we explored the key challenges and action points for employers arising from the new duty.
