Webinar: Harassment in the workplace - a practical guide for employers on understanding the law
In recent years, the need for organisations to proactively address harassment in the workplace has become increasingly pressing. Alongside the importance of maintaining a positive workplace culture, a Government focus on prevention makes this a high-priority area for employers.
Katherine Flower, a partner in the employment law team at Burges Salmon, sets out organisations' legal obligations, 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 this webinar, Katherine discusses:
- the pre-existing legal framework and the upcoming changes in the Employment Rights Bill;
- harassment relating to a protected characteristic;
- sexual harassment and third-party harassment;
- the new legal duty to prevent sexual harassment and the meaning of "all reasonable steps";
- tips on compliance, and on managing an allegation of workplace harassment; and
- suggestions for dealing with the trickier issues that can arise.
