Today's topic: 

Sexual Harassment at Work and Employer's Responsibility

According to ACAS (2024), "by law, all employers must take reasonable steps to prevent sexual harassment of their employees.

The law is the Worker Protection (Amendment of Equality Act 2010) Act 2023. The law came into effect on 26 October 2024.

The law covers sexual harassment from:

• other people at work
• third parties – for example customers and clients

You must take action to assess risks and put measures in place. You cannot wait until sexual harassment happens. If it's already happened, you must take action to stop it happening again".

As an employer, have you taken any measures to safeguard your employees? If not, CMZ-HR can help you do so by carrying out a Company Health Check, implement relevant policies and provide bespoke training to your employees to ensure compliance.

I am planning educational courses on various HR-related subjects in the near future. If you are interested in any particular subject, please get in touch to discuss.
