Bullying and harassment
In this webinar on 12 August at 11am, we focus on the changes HR needs to act on now. We bring together insights from three leading experts to revisit the most important developments and their practical implications for employers.
In this 60-minute webinar Lisa Bell, founder of Tell Jane, helps ensure your organisation is ready for the October harassment law changes.
Some major changes are coming to the harassment laws in October. Global inequalities specialist - and licensed skipper - Georgie Williams joins the podcast to talk about what it's like to draw up an anti-harassment policy on a ship. What does it mean when you can't "clock off" and go home in the way you can with land-based office jobs? How does this change dynamics? What challenges does this raise?
Katherine Flower, a partner in the employment law team at Burges Salmon, sets out organisations' legal obligations concerning harassment, how staff are protected and where the risks lie. She also shares practical insights on how to manage some of the difficult issues that can arise when dealing with allegations of harassment.
In October 2024 the Government launched a major overhaul of employment law in the form of the Employment Rights Bill. A number of important amendments have been introduced since the proposed legislation was first published. Stephen Simpson, principal editor at Brightmine, joins the podcast to provide an update and help HR departments prepare for the changes.
In this webinar, Brightmine legal editors Stephen Simpson and Zeba Sayed explain what the changes are going to be, what employers can do now to begin preparing and the potential timelines for implementation.
With changes to the law regarding sexual harassment in the workplace coming into effect this autumn - and further changes promised in the Government's Employment Rights Bill - we are joined by Lisa Bell from Tell Jane to discuss the new legal duty on employers, the impact of technology and generational shifts in attitude.
Brightmine legal editors Zeba Sayed and Stephen Simpson offer a countdown of the top 10 employment law proposals that are likely to have the biggest impact on employers after the general election.
Blair Adams joins us to talk about the tricky issues that can arise when investigating allegations of improper conduct, such as sexual or racial harassment, bullying or discrimination.
