Bullying and harassment is never a good thing, but at work……..

  • it can damage morale and employee relations
  • lead to poor performance
  • reduce productivity
  • increase absences and resignations
  • damage a company’s reputation

A new piece of legislation ‘The Worker Protection (Amendment of Equality Act 2010) Act 2023’ has received Royal Assent, and will come into force in October 2024.

This is an important piece of legislation when it comes to sex harassment litigation.

In short, from next year all employers will be under a statutory duty to take reasonable steps to prevent sex harassment in the workplace.  If employers fail to take reasonable steps to prevent sex harassment, then the Equality and Human Right Commission can take enforcement steps, plus any successful tribunal claim will be subject to a compensation uplift of up to 25%.
