Preventing Sexual Harassment at Work: An Introduction for Managers and HR

Recently sexual harassment has received extensive media coverage, with public figures speaking up about being sexually harassed by Hollywood directors, actors and politicians. This has resulted in high profile figures leading from the top and encouraging victims of sexual harassment to speak up.

Sexual harassment in the workplace is commonplace. It is a form of discrimination and the law places a positive duty on employers to take reasonable steps to prevent it from happening. For this reason business owners and managers need to know their legal obligations, and be ready to address and prevent sexual harassment from occurring. Many employers may think that sexual harassment is something that would never happen in their company. Others may want to address and prevent sexual harassment in the workplace, but simply don’t know where to start. For this reason, Gelbergs LLP’s expert team of employment lawyers have put together an interactive and informative half day workshop to introduce businesses to the concept of sexual harassment in the workplace, show that it can and does happen, and to provide them with a toolkit on how to protect your business and comply with the law.
