Happy Friday or Not.

Ah, Friday! The day we eagerly anticipate all week, signalling the end of the grind and the start of relaxation. It's a time to unwind, let loose, and simply enjoy the moment without dwelling on the challenges of the week gone by. However, amidst the joy of impending freedom, there are matters that should not be forgotten, especially for organisations gearing up for significant regulatory changes.

As we bid farewell to the workweek, it's tempting to shelve important tasks until Monday, we've all heard it "Oh we'll deal with it on Monday!". We've all been there with diets - procrastination tends to become a habit. Yet, there are critical initiatives looming on the horizon, particularly concerning workplace regulations concerning sexual harassment prevention. With only 18 Mondays left until the new Worker Protection (Amendment of Equality Act 2010) Act 2023 takes effect, the luxury of deferring action may soon evaporate.

Creating and implementing in-house sexual harassment training can be a time-consuming endeavour, taking anywhere from 165 to 275 days, but that's not all - add another 46 to 122 days for developing in-house comprehensive policies and procedures. That's a lot of Mondays slipping away, and for companies still in the planning stages, the clock is ticking louder than ever.

The urgency cannot be overstated. Soon, "we'll do it on Monday" will cease to be an option. Compliance with the new regulations demands foresight and proactive measures. It's about safeguarding workplace culture and ensuring every employee feels respected and protected. Delaying action not only risks legal repercussions but also undermines the trust and morale within the organisation.
