All employers have a new ‘positive duty’ to prevent sexual harassment, from 26th October 2024. Employers cannot ignore this, the obligations are far reaching including conduct from customers.
Employers need to consider regular training for all employees as well as managers. If you have a policy, it will need to be updated, if you do not have a policy we strongly recommend you implement a policy and review associated processes for example disciplinary and grievance procedures. Guildford HR can supply a policy and more importantly training regarding employers’ responsibility.
Contact Guildford HR on 01483 362732 or hello@guildford-hr.co.uk so we can explain it in more detail.
