Breakfast Bite: Are you doing all you can to combat sexual harassment?

The new sexual harassment legislation in the UK is as much about nuance as it is about new reforms and protections.?

Are you worried about what it will mean for you? Do you feel ready?

Unlike other aspects of the recently announced Employment Rights Bill, this comes into effect immediately (on 26 October 2024) so it needs your urgent attention. There is no time to lose.

We’ve produced a quick-fire guide to help you. Of course, many organisations are already ahead of the curve: they’ve embedded respect and inclusion into their talent strategies because they know it’s important to their people and to achieve their business goals.

There’s always room for improvement and when it comes to meeting the requirements of the new law and taking care of the people who will put you ahead of the competition, it’s not worth taking any chances.

Head over to the Jarred Think Tank now for our 6-point sexual harassment risk assessment checklist.

We understand your organisation has its own needs and limitations, so the solution will never be one-size-fits-all. If you’ve got as far as you can on your own or you’re feeling overwhelmed and fearful that you’re not covering all the bases, talk to us.?

Make it a powerful part of your EVP

Organisations with vision will take this one step further. Their proactive approach will be an integral part of their culture and a clear feature of their EVP. This will be reflected in their reputation, the power of which cannot be underestimated when it comes to drawing in and retaining talent.

If the lifeblood of a company is its employees, it makes good business sense to ensure we meet the requirements of the new law. Beyond this, as custodians of their well-being, we have a responsibility to go above and beyond in our pre-emptive measures.

Whether you’re well clued up and just need an action plan or full-level support to put it into action, we have a range of services and products to make it as seamless as possible.

Have a great weekend!
