Worker Protection Act

Worker Protection Act

The new duty to prevent sexual harassment has gone live but are you prepared?

The Worker Protection Act marks a huge shift in responsibility for dealing with sexual harassment, and companies could face big penalties if they are found to have failed to do that.

Sexual harassment is a serious issue that affects workplaces worldwide.

As employers, it is our responsibility under law to create a safe and respectful environment for all employees.

The Equality Act 2010 defines sexual harassment as unwanted conduct of a sexual nature which has the purpose or effect of violating someone’s dignity or creating an intimidating, hostile, degrading, humiliating or offensive environment for them

Under equality law, employers must take reasonable steps to prevent sexual harassment of workers by their colleagues. If they don’t, they will be legally responsible for such harassment.
