Description
Sexual harassment is a problem that blights the lives of millions of workers and represents a huge cost to employers in terms of poor performance, reduced productivity, staff turnover and reputational damage. As studies and surveys reveal the true extent and toxic impact of sexual harassment in the workplace, being able to get to grips with this issue has become a must for every organisation. The Worker's Protection Act (2023) enshrines into law an employer's duty to take all reasonable steps to prevent sexual harassment in the workplace, staff training on sexual harassment is key to prevention. Featuring leading behavioural and legal experts combined with original drama and compelling first-person accounts, this course takes a fresh look at the nature of sexual harassment, setting out the moral, business and legal case for tackling it and providing guidance on bringing about positive cultural change through the use of bystander interventions, robust sexual harassment policies and effective reporting systems.
