Shownotes

Are you aware of the new duty that employers have to prevent their staff from sexual harassment in the workplace?

On 26 October, the new duty comes into force which requires employers to take reasonable steps to prevent sexual harassments and any who are in breach of duty may have to pay additional compensation of up to 25%.

Our latest employment podcast covers the new draft guidance, what reasonable steps must be taken, what powers the Equality and Human Rights commission have, and more.
